Why T-gel? Why not testosterone injections? I started TRT/HRT 6 months ago because I have low T. I had low T. I inject 200 ml every 10 days and my T levels are 800-900 the day before injection. Me estrodial is now on the low side of normal. I was on T gel years ago and it didn’t do anything for me. My levels barely moved. My fitness journey just started. I’m watching videos now just to see others opinions.
@@brucejoshua21 in my country for example we are required to use the gel for 3 months to see if our bodies react to it well before we're offered the option to switch to injections. and also everyone reacts differently to it, for many people the gel works just as perfectly as the injection does
I appreciated this! Even though I got my dose and how to apply it from my doctor, I just did my first thing of testosterone gel. It was nice to have the visual confirmation that I was doing things right, and sorta feel like I wasn't doing it alone! Thank you.
Thank you for this! My endocrinologist told me how to apply this but didn't visually show me; it's nice to have the visual tutorial just to make sure I don't somehow screw it up. Super helpful ^^
Thank you for having this video out, I just applied my first dose on my arm and you really helped me to move passed my nerves and do this. Thank so so so much.
The first and only transmasc how to vid i click on and it's not a white dude truly today is blessed. Fellow Latinx transmasc here and thank you for this content
Some of you all don't listen!! The young man told you that he wasn't a doctor that you will have to ask your doctor about any questions you may have!! You still asking questions that should be asked by your doctor..smh His video was just mainly talking about how he applies his dose the steps he takes of the do's & don't to help you how to apply it!!
Careful not to get it under your arms. I asked my doctor if I could put it in my armpits and underarms (to protect my wife from accidentally touching it) and she told me that wouldn’t be safe because the skin there is too thin. Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just repeating what my doctor said. Please consult your doctor personally for any questions or concerns that you have with your own medical treatment.
I worthless doctor has just made me switch. My first doctor gave me just the right dose. He retired so now I have to mess with all this. Are you having any luck with the cream?
@@ScottHendrix-yz3du hey! i have been on the gel for rougly 3 monrhs now and it was going well! the daily application was abit tedious but not that big of a deal. the changes definitely come slower, but the applying daily helped keep my hormones (and mood) more stable! i ended up going back to injections because it was easier/cheaper for me to inject. if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask
Thank you for the tip! I would’ve never thought to clean my arm with hand soap before applying. Sometimes showering takes to much energy or I don’t have the energy to shower in the morning so this is very helpful! My first try I rubbed it into my shoulder and arm without showering or cleaning the area and it was indeed very gross with the flaking and it took longer to rub in.
Thank you for the info! I am waiting for insurance approval for androgel. I have a generic disorder called 47 XXY, Klinefelter's Syndrome. I am looking forward to giving Androgel a try! One question - why do you switch arms/do you have to do this?
Weeelll, you never start off with the gel because the gel dose is way too high. You always start off with a small dose and then slowly build it up. By the time you're on the recommended dose of t that allows you to start using the gel you've probably been using t for a year or more so your body has already changed quite a bit. I use two pumps a day, used to inject once in two weeks but the gel dose is a lot higher than the injections. Also with injections my voice started to change after a month (depends on your body how fast it goes tho because i already had unusually high testosterone levels so my body adapted really fast to it)
Musa Nomo I’m about to start on gel hopefully this month. If I took the injections it would be too high of a dose. With the gel you can go down to 1/4 of a full adult dose of testosterone. Hope this helps you understand lol.
@@forrestseven8355 ah that's weird, the dosage is probably different from where I live (netherlands) here its standard to start with injections because the gel has a high T concentration. Anyway congrats bro
thanks for sharing ryan! love your videos. I personally would love to see a video about your experience transitioning in college (since I’m about to do the same thing!)
Hi Ryan. Keep your eyes on T level. Im FTM and had T injection for 8yrs. Early this yr I decided to try T gel and I got my period back after 2.5 months of using it. Which never happened for 8yrs. Found out my T level was very low. So now im back to T injection. It was a horrible experience.
@@adamsebastian74665 years late just to tell you that you're spreading misinformation because shots actually tend to imbalance hormonal levels and gel tends to stabilize them. 😭
Team Gel! I break mine up too, like two pumps on each thigh or arm, or two on the belly and the rest on the arm. Basically try to change it up a bit. I was worried the first time I noticed the dirt and dead skin bunching up too, but I just asked around in a couple groups on facebook to see if that was normal.
hey ryan! what's the reason for alternating the right and left arm everyday? two pumps on every side every day would seem easier (less time to let it dry).
Super thanks for the video, I found it super helpful. Today, I'm starting my testosterone treatment and I'm a visual.learmer. As such, I needed to visually see how to apply on my shoulder correctly. I appreciate your tips and I made sure to shower and dry prior to applying. I'm also letting it air dry a good 20/30 minutes before I put in my shirt. I know 20/30 minutes is overkill, however it works out as I'm busy getting ready during that time. Today is my first day of the T Treatment. My T levels went down, as I'm now 50 years old and such. chEErs
Thanks for this video. I've been applying two pumps per arm just like this for four months now and don't see any difference at this point. I'm wondering if some peoples' bodies just don't absorb it.
Hey great video man, thank you for posting it. I'm in the process of switching from the injections (which I had been on for decades) to one 5 gram packet of gel cream per day, everyday, effective today.🎩
@ScottHendrix-yz3du Yeah, it really worked out great but I stopped using it and switched back to the injections because it kept blocking my ability to have spontaneous sex. It also stopped me from cuddling up at night with my wife because we didn't want the gel to rub off on her. The other thing is that the gel had me growing hair on my back and on top of my shoulders.
@@chicagopapi6152 yeah I'm worried about all of that stuff except the shots made me grow hair on my back to. I can't even really grow hair on my chest or a full beard but now have back hair. I'll have to find another doctor I guess.
Hi Ryan i just started Testogel today. I was just wondering does the gel stay on your clothes when you put them on after applying it I mean even after your skin is dry again :)
So ive just started t and i work where they dont know im trans. Im stealth so they address me as male. Basically they will wonder why it looks like im finally going through puberty (at 21 lol), and im wondering if you have experience/advice on how to come out? I feel that if i don't tell someone, they'll probabaly ask anyways.
My gel prescription has instructions for each number of pumps per day. It states that with 4 pumps a day, you should put two on one shoulder and two on the other.
Thanks a lot for this video, Ryan. My boyfriend came out to me as transgender on March,2017 and since that day we hope to get someday a therapist for him and also see if he can go on testosterone.He is diabetic (type1) and we both are worried because We don't know yet if there's going to be a risk using it. He told me that he wouldn't transition just Because He thinks using testosterone will cause many problems to his health.... I'm worried about him and I just wish at some point We could clear our doubts when he talks to a professional.
kika Cabrera hey, I'm sorry your boyfriend is going through this, but I don't think diabetes type 1 is a no go for testosterone. I'm no doctor but I believe testosterone can affect sugar(?) levels and is not recommended to people who take insulin, because it can make the drug ineffective, but as long as his levels are checked I think he might be fine, but that's just me, again, I'm not a doctor.
Fellow type 1 here and I'm on T :) They say that it can make insulin a little less absorbable but that just means your partner would have to take slightly more units :) It shouldn't cause any more problems than that tbh but I've only just started so can't say for sure. An endo would keep an eye anyway. I'm starting to make videos about being on T with medical conditions so it'd be cool if you check them out so I can reassure as time goes on. There's nothing on my channel quite yet, I'm still editing 😂
Hey boo come to hamden Connecticut anchor health initiative is the only practice that doesn't require you to have a gender therapy approval.. they have u sign a paper its called a informed consent paper
Hell yea bro thank you! I’m finally able to switch to the gel from the shot and this answered most of my questions about it. I’m super pumped to get started! I can’t believe I’ve never come across your channel before now, but I’m glad I did and I’m subscribed now 😊🏳️⚧️
tyy i knew i just had to put it on my shoulders but i didnt know if i should have just let it dry without fully rubbing it in or as much as i could. so that rly clears things up
Ryan, why did u switch to gel from t-shot. Is it because the aggression? Your afraid of needles? Can you please make a video about the reason why you’re switching from shots to gel. Because my md is trying to switch me to gel due to aggression
I know this video is 4 years old but does anyone know how long you have to wait until you could put on long sleeve clothes after applying T gel? Thinking of switching from injections to gel after top surgery.
How come you don't put it on both arms two pumps each arm because the gel I use tells me to only use it on the upper part of my arm and shoulder on both
So January will be my 2 years on t I believe and I just wanted to know how is it with gel then the shot? My wife does the shot for me since I don’t like the look of needles and my hands shake whenever I hold it. I really don’t like shots at all since I always get scared of my wife giving me a shot every Saturday. Is the gel worth it? My voice was deep for 7 months until I had to lower my dosage and it’s ehh kind of deep. I’m kind of not getting much result due to what my doctor is doing so as of right now I’m changing clinics to someone who is professional and knows what I need and want. Should I change from shots to gel?
I hear that gel and shots really do not have a difference in how effective they are. They’re just different in applying it, as shots are either, weekly, bi weekly or even monthly depending on where you are. Some people say having shots can make them feel drained right before their next shot, while t gel is every day and kinda evens out the levels. Also you can’t really have skin to skin contact with someone for 4-6 hours after applying. The effectiveness usually depends on your genetics and how your body handles T. If you’re scared of needles it probably wouldn’t hurt to try Gel. I’m thinking of getting gel, as I don’t have a partner anyway to worry about skin to skin contact (if I ever do in the future I’ll think of injections) but I’m nervous about having to do the shots myself so maybe if I get a partner one day I would ask if they could do it too. I understand the anxiety of doing it yourself and am having an appointment today for t.
Hi! 😊 Maybe this could seem a stupid question, but I was just wondering if we can pet animals after T. I'm on gel too. I put it on my upper chest and shoulders then I wear a t-shirt and I carefully wash my hands. Can I pet my cats and can they sleep next to my legs, or should I wait a few hours even for touching them with my clean hands?
This is a dumb question, but I'm about to start tesosterone that is applied to the skin instead of the muscular injection. Can it cause you to grow facial hair? And can it deepen your voice like normal HRT does, or is the side effects completely different. If so, do you know the side effects. I asked the doctor if it deepened the voice, and he said no, but he said it does affect facial hair. But when he said it doesn't affect your voice, that's what threw me off, so I'm wondering from someone who's on it themselves what they've experienced personally.
@@XSpiritz-z not dumb at all! testosterone gel like the one I’m using can affect your voice. It also affects body fat redistribution and can cause hot flashes, oily skin (acne) and after some time, can stop menstruation. It also causes bottom growth. Changes may be slower depending on the dose. This is all depending on if you are FTM. It’s different if you are born male. Hope this helps!
this might be a stupid question and sorry if it is, but instead of doing 4 pumps each time and alternating arms every day, couldn’t you do two pumps on both arms every day? i feel like it would be easier since you don’t have to remember which arm you did last and you’re still getting the same dose in your system? hope you can answer this question!!
Ryan Jacobs Flores ok cool, i’m sure there’s a good reason for it then. thanks for answering, i was just really curious! so cool to see how your journey is going so far!👍🏼
When do u start notice the effect i have been taking testo gel for 3 days now but put in on my stomach under my bellybutton is it better to put on shoulders? I use it becuse im on metadon and have low testo levels and think it always been low even before metadon and i got very littel facial hair and really want more. So how long does it takes to start nottice the effect?
My test was low in blood test I'll be starting today not trans just a 32 year old man with low T getting a MRI next week to make sure I don't have a patoitry tumor that is causing my hormon imbalance
I do one arm and then the other for my other pump hoping that’s ok I do 2 pumps altogether and one pump on one arm one pump on the other I didn’t know you put it on one arm and alternate .. hoping I’m doing it ok
Hi I was wondering about the T- gel can someone get it over the counter ?? Do they sell it in stores ? Can someone tell , I'm a man that wants to grow facial hair but I guess is genetics or I don't know I haven't done a T - test yet so don't know if my levels are realy low,also I was wondering are the treatments realy expensive in case I need to go on a T- treatment? Can someone tell I live in USA
I’ve been on Injections for a year and got my gel today, hopefully I can do it well in the morning when I take a shower 😭 I hope is not messy :( at least I start with 1 pump….
@@ScottHendrix-yz3du yeah I’ve been on it ever since, but it’s a bit messy and the prices have gone up on the pharmacies which suck, insurance won’t cover it and some places don’t even accept good rx because is a “controlled substance” Even if it’s slower and an everyday thing… it helps me not freak out about having to inject :/
Lacey Sanchez oh its forever. This is the less invasive method so if its gonna be forever it might as well be like this. Unless the person dont mind being injecting T all their lives.
@Robert A. Lofgren Jr. yeah, that is the same thing that i'm doing. are you satisfy with results? I'm switchin to Nebido , one dose per 3 month, it is going weĺl for me
Why not apply It to each arm 2 pumps on each arm. The other thing if you are doing 4 pumps do 2 morning and 2 evening. No disrespect are you taking this to increase low testosterone? Or is this to change from female to male? Just curious what your levels are regardless.
About to start T gel. Have my gel next to me and this vid just helps with applying confidently. Thank YOU!!

Hi! 😊 Maybe this could seem a stupid question, but I was just wondering if we can pet animals after T. I'm on gel too. I put it on my upper chest and shoulders then I wear a t-shirt and I carefully wash my hands. Can I pet my cats and can they sleep next to my legs, or should I wait a few hours even for touching them with my clean hands?
May we ask why you’ve switch to gel from shots? Do shots messes up with your mood peak?
I know you said you aren't a doctor, but can i get a prescription for you?? 😜
This is a dumb question, but I'm about to start tesosterone that is applied to the skin instead of the muscular injection. Can it cause you to grow facial hair? And can it deepen your voice like normal HRT does, or is the side effects completely different. If so, do you know the side effects. I asked the doctor if it deepened the voice, and he said no, but he said it does affect facial hair. But when he said it doesn't affect your voice, that's what threw me off, so I'm wondering from someone who's on it themselves what they've experienced personally.
@@XSpiritz-z not dumb at all! testosterone gel like the one I’m using can affect your voice. It also affects body fat redistribution and can cause hot flashes, oily skin (acne) and after some time, can stop menstruation. It also causes bottom growth. Changes may be slower depending on the dose. This is all depending on if you are FTM. It’s different if you are born male. Hope this helps!
is there any reason why you can't just do two pumps on each shoulder every day?
What are the side-effects of testosterone gel. How long can we use this. Can we have children when we r on trt. Pls reply
What is the name of testosteron gel and how much miligrams is in one dose? I have in my country TESTAVAN and 1 dose is 23mg. I use two dose a day.
Thank you so much, I’ve just started and my doc is giving me really confusing and conflicting advice on how I need to be applying it
I've heard rubbing lotion on an hour after applying helps with absorption. Have you tried that out?
Does the sight get kinda dry and noticeable like white and powdery.. kinda hard to explain.. but any help with that?
Robert A. Lofgren Jr. Okay I’ll talk to my doctor about it. Thanks.
Please do more vids talking about yourself, it's so relaxing just listening to you ❤😊
this might be a stupid question and sorry if it is, but instead of doing 4 pumps each time and alternating arms every day, couldn’t you do two pumps on both arms every day? i feel like it would be easier since you don’t have to remember which arm you did last and you’re still getting the same dose in your system? hope you can answer this question!!
Natalia H. Not sure why, it’s just how the nurse told me to apply it.
Ryan Jacobs Flores ok cool, i’m sure there’s a good reason for it then. thanks for answering, i was just really curious! so cool to see how your journey is going so far!👍🏼
Is there a reason you only apply it on one shoulder?
Keep area of application covered until washed (2-6 hours after it was applied).
What was your T level? 4 pumps a day sounds like a lot.
Why dont both shoulders and belly everyday?
Top surgery update?? Or the excercises you do??
When do u start notice the effect i have been taking testo gel for 3 days now but put in on my stomach under my bellybutton is it better to put on shoulders? I use it becuse im on metadon and have low testo levels and think it always been low even before metadon and i got very littel facial hair and really want more. So how long does it takes to start nottice the effect?
How fast does it work in comparison to injections? Also to get to where you are in this video - how many bottles did you go through?
He used injections first, than switched to gel. Injections give you faster results.
Mine came out like liquid today, just starting TRT, so I need to shake it up to mix it?
I’m starting on gel today!
May I ask have you had surgery to remove uterus & ovarys ?
My test was low in blood test I'll be starting today not trans just a 32 year old man with low T getting a MRI next week to make sure I don't have a patoitry tumor that is causing my hormon imbalance
I do one arm and then the other for my other pump hoping that’s ok I do 2 pumps altogether and one pump on one arm one pump on the other I didn’t know you put it on one arm and alternate .. hoping I’m doing it ok
can i ask im a male but would like to grow hair on my chest and more on my under arm can i take male hormone pills?
Do you experience any pain while applying the gel?
I got two questions, #1. Can you still put the testosterone gel on? Do you have to switch off on arms?
Hi I was wondering about the T- gel can someone get it over the counter ?? Do they sell it in stores ? Can someone tell , I'm a man that wants to grow facial hair but I guess is genetics or I don't know I haven't done a T - test yet so don't know if my levels are realy low,also I was wondering are the treatments realy expensive in case I need to go on a T- treatment? Can someone tell I live in USA
I been on the gel 4 days now does it work as good as the shot of how do you see it?
Question.. If you out this in your arms. Will this is to a girlfriend when embracing? Can it cause her issues? Just wondering..
Just make sure it's completely dry before coming in contact with her
i love how thick your hair is, how do you keep it that way
Talk about your sexual orientation and relationships!
Woa back off haha
Keep ur virginity safe wahmen
Good question 👌👍😘
Slow your roll
Freak... Shut up ya dick!
I’ve been on Injections for a year and got my gel today, hopefully I can do it well in the morning when I take a shower 😭 I hope is not messy :( at least I start with 1 pump….
New doctor made me switch to gel.
Very upset.
Did it work for you?
@@ScottHendrix-yz3du yeah I’ve been on it ever since, but it’s a bit messy and the prices have gone up on the pharmacies which suck, insurance won’t cover it and some places don’t even accept good rx because is a “controlled substance”
Even if it’s slower and an everyday thing… it helps me not freak out about having to inject :/
Do you have to trade off arms or do you just prefer to?
Is this good for the voice changing also?
How long do you have to take testosterone for is it forever or is there a stopping point!
Lacey Sanchez oh its forever. This is the less invasive method so if its gonna be forever it might as well be like this. Unless the person dont mind being injecting T all their lives.
Lee S. Reyes Thank you for replying
Why does he need to inject testosterone? Is he a "she" before??
Daryl Pingol He is a transgender man. Which means that he was born female but identified as a man so he transitioned into one physically.
Mainly because she is a girl that does not produce testosterone......... but yes.
I'm start t gel on the 18 love this video bro
How long about before see some results just general speaking
Bro, why do you switch hands? Why dont apply on both, one time on left,one time on right? Today is my firs day on gel so i'm curious
@Robert A. Lofgren Jr. yeah, that is the same thing that i'm doing. are you satisfy with results? I'm switchin to Nebido , one dose per 3 month, it is going weĺl for me
@Robert A. Lofgren Jr. sorry dude, i supossed that you are trans man, like us. but i'm glad that works for you ;)
Bro any notice in changes in your life after doing this testogel do u feel more energy, better mood, starting mine today was curious
It says do not rub in the gel and to apply a thin layer of it. you seem to be rubbing it in bro.
Why not apply It to each arm 2 pumps on each arm. The other thing if you are doing 4 pumps do 2 morning and 2 evening. No disrespect are you taking this to increase low testosterone? Or is this to change from female to male? Just curious what your levels are regardless.
How long time do you let the gel dry before you put on clothes?
what supplements u take for the beard growing ?
What t gels are legit online? Because theres alot of fakes do you know any?
Just started with the gel
Hope to look half as good as you do here holy shit
