Dosage for testosterone newbie.
Asked GP for some and was told I had to go private.
I'm 57 and feel my memory is poor ISH and zero sex drive.
Hrt has sorted out my debilitating symptoms so I've ordered testosterone on super drug site.
If it's approved can I please ask what dose users started on please.
TIA

I have testrogel- 1 pump every 2 weeks.

I also have testogel but a 'tiny' pump every other day.

I used a small pea sized amount.

I have a tiny testogel sachet which I have to use over 3 weeks

Superdrug will get you to do a blood test, then it is a sachet split over 8 days that they prescribe - tiny pea size blob each day.

They use Testogel.

I had the Superdrug Testogel sachets and used a pea-sized blob every day. I did have to have a recent testosterone blood test result.
I finally managed to get the GP to prescribe testosterone and I now have Testavan - one pump on a Mon, Wed and Friday.
It has definitely helped my brain fog and libido.

Tiny Testagel sachet spread over 8 days - i just wing it. I’ve tried measuring out a proper dose but it’s just too fiddly. I mark the day I start a new sachet on a clip I use to hold it shut. No adverse effects noticed, only positive ones.
