Testosterone sachets - how do you know the right amount to use?

[ClosingTheDoorOnThePast]

I've been prescribed testosterone as part of my HRT prescription and my GP told me that the dosage in the sachet is for men and to use a pea sized amount. I've got the sachets and I'm really not sure how much to use. I mean, I squeezed out a pea sized amount but it seems a bit arbitrary. Is there a way of measuring it properly?

I just leave the syringe in like this after use. It seals the hole and stops it drying out. I then put it in this box in the fridge

I got mine on NHS. You have to be suffering low libido and have already been on HRT for a while.
I was told to use a pea sized amount daily=1 sachet over 8 days. I cut a small corner off the sachet and use each day, truly is a pea sized amount. I decided to keep all used sachets so I could count them up and make sure I was averaging no more than one every 8 days. I don’t bother doing this any more and I don’t weigh it or dad about with syringes. After a while you get used to measuring out approx an 1/8.

Thanks for all of your posts. It doesn't seem that there is a simple answer. Can anyone give me an idea of how long it takes for the testosterone to kick in? With Osteogel I felt better quite quickly. I've not felt any difference with the testosterone yet.

It took me months. Be patient. About three or four. Stick with it. That's why I don't worry now if I don't have the exact dose. It takes so long to build up in the system that I know that missing a day won't have a huge effect.
