Testogel madness

Hi everyone,

I have been using testogel for 4 months, and was with superdrug. My level was 0.w before starting, then went up to 1.6.
I decided to take a test with the online clinic as they give you a dispenser.
However, my test results just came back, & it's 10.1 !! How could it go up so far in 3 months. I had a 2 week break before the test too?

Wow, that is high. How much testogel do you use each day?

Mine has gone from 0.5 to 4.7 - that's over 7 months since starting treatment. I'm not having any side effects or symptoms of increased testosterone so GP wasn't concerned, just going to check again in 3 months. They only advised me to stop testosterone the day before the test

Yes I was only using a pea sized amount daily.. it is quite shocking. Could it be wrong? It was only a home test kit

That must be wrong! Get a test from your doctor.
