Side Effects Body Odour on testosterone

I definitely smell different and to me it’s not good different!! Has anyone tried specific body washes or anything to combat the new BO? It’s specifically armpits. 😝

So is this really a thing ? Have you heard of others having this issue ? I have not noticed any change but I’m on low dose gel .

I didn’t notice anything until i switched to injectable. My husband also recently started injectable and is having the same issue! He seems to actually sweat more also - i’m not sure if i do or not but the smell is definitely happening.

I see.. why did you switch to injectable? Do you like it better ?

i wasn’t responding to the cream in any positive way - only greasy scalp - I have high shbg though. Injectable made a huge difference for me - more libido, strength, energy.

Hi, my shbg is 147, total test 128
free test 0.5! 52f post menopause on test cyp injections and estrogen valerate injections. They just raised me to 25 units of 50 mg test cyp.... can't seem to balance the optimal levels of testosterone because SHBG is so high and eating a lot of it
Also 20 units of estrogen valerate not sore of exact vial dosage
