For Hypogonadism, Male "I am 69 years old. Prior to starting 5 pumps daily of AndroGel 5 months ago, T level was 207, low energy, and almost no sex drive, plus often could not maintain an erection. After only a couple of weeks, there was a big turnaround, good erections, and libido what it was at age 40. Did notice I was a bit more aggressive. Then, about the 3rd month, things went downhill with things back pretty much as they were before AndroGel. Presently awaiting results of test to see where T levels stand."

For Hypogonadism, Male "An intro: I was dealt a traumatic brain injury that landed me in a coma for 19 days some years back. I've faced issues such as anger, paranoia, suspicion, so bad. I wouldn't trust my own doctor! That went on for well over a decade before I heard about Low T. Then I researched, arranged an appointment, had lab work done to find out, lo and behold; I was dealing with a case of Low T, on a big scale. Within the first two weeks of therapy, differences were like night and day! I honestly have not felt this good, or more with life in general since being on AndroGel. I'm finishing up month number five with regular lab tests and point blank: I feel great! More energy with a tremendous relief of many symptoms."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am 33, was tested, and had low T. My results were 39, which is extremely low. I started on AndroGel 1.62, two pumps made me very aggressive, and I would snap and get angry, so I went to 1 pump in the morning. My sex drive went through the roof :). After 6 weeks, I was tested, the results were 432. That was exciting. I also gained 15 pounds. I used to weigh 140, now I'm staying between 150-156. I am stronger, more energetic, can think better, but I do have my days that suck. It's all part of the test. Now, not everyone is going to have results like mine, so keep trying to find what works. Also, if you're eating poorly, that may be the reason, also, try to eat healthy and work out."

"I'm a transgender male, and I've been using AndroGel after taking testosterone injections and patches, and I've been very happy with the gel. It's very convenient, dries quickly, and my levels are always the same. Except for a little anger once in a while, it works like a charm if you get the good dosage. My beard appears more quickly than with the shots. I recommend AndroGel to any FTM who's scared of trying. The cost is incredibly high without insurance, but it is worth it if you have a fear of needles or anxiety!"
