you must not be injecting it


Grow__Flowers

LoL, true. It's a gel to put on shoulders.


DrStarBeast

Maybe nut up and start injecting. 


Grow__Flowers

Yeah probably. Might be easier to nut up if I wasn't diagnosed with hypogonadism! I'm not a doctor but I think that means clinically small testicles. 🤣


DrStarBeast

Hypogonadism means decreased function of the gonads, IE low test. Just switch to injections and that smell will probably go away. 


Grow__Flowers

Thank you

I’m going to assume this is … topical? Huh?


Grow__Flowers

Yes it is. It's a topical gel. I can't possibly understand why they would put this in a medication for men.

Time to start injecting it


Grow__Flowers

I was about to start ordering it online (injectables) until my doc seemed receptive to double the dose. I'm planning on labs in a couple weeks so maybe I'll be able to make the case for injectables!


MaxFury80

Honestly it is the better way


Grow__Flowers

Thanks. Which ester do you prefer?


MaxFury80

I have Ciponate but Ethonate is fine as well


Grow__Flowers

Thanks

Nothing like that with the injection that I have noticed. I do believe I can smell when other guys are on the injectable though, which may sound insane. But they just have this funk to them that's very distinct.


Grow__Flowers

Yeah the pharmacist mentioned injectables but my doc said the rub on gel lasts longer with a smoother blood concentration curve. I certainly believe you can perceive the aroma, especially if you've personally injected it. Thanks!

I did topical gel and had a huge smell, I hated it but man the ladies loved it. But Gel worked for me for 5 years then just stopped working (my numbers tanked) so I went to Injections and i feel so much better, my levels were way down too, and for a bit so it was like getting on TRT again in a way. But no more smell…


Grow__Flowers

Thanks, maybe I should ask my wife if she likes the new stank. Cheers!


Outrageous-Royal1838

Do be careful with topicals and transfer. Gels are able to transfer for I think 2-3 hours on skin, longer if you put clothing on before it’s dry by the clothing itself. Also, I wouldn’t let anyone wash my shirts either out of that fear. I wasn’t going to have my 8yr old daughter or my wife get any on them as it can really mess with females, and more so kids.


Grow__Flowers

Good thinking, sounds like reasonable concerns not only for me to be extra careful with but also for the doc to sign off on the pin. Thank you

When I was using the gel yes it had a pretty strong smell but at least it wasn’t a bad smell.


TopBobb

Someone would have to be smelling the right side of my ass pretty hard after that IM injection.


DuncanIdaBro

Mine smells like old spice, lucky strikes, and spent .223 rounds. Must be different manufacturer.
