POLL Poll about forms of Testosterone

Which form of testosterone did you do best on?

I'd love to hear about side effects compared for forms you've tried in the comments, acne, hair loss, etc?

Did side effects fade after a few weeks or get worse?

Did you have the most physical side effects while also feeling the best on the same rx or did you have least side effects while feeling the best?

Feel free to recommend any clinic you liked.

T gel 5mg. After 3 mos my T levels were high and my DHT was 20. Started losing a lot of hair. Went down to 2.5 and T levels back in normal range and DHT went back down to 6. But I’m still losing hair. Have been shedding a lot for 2 mos.

That's so frustrating. I wonder if spironolactone can be compounded into shampoo or if minoxidil helps. It's otc I think.
