So we now that when guys have prostrate cancer one of the treatments is for Testosterone suppressant drugs. Its not really that the product will cause it its more that it like other T replacement may exasperate the condition we also need to remember that misuse of T can lead to other conditions that can lead to heat attack - hence the young gym juncky steroid guys that abuse and die young! Remember that the T replacement is a synthetic form so one side effect can be that your blood can thicken and you haematocrit blood levels to increase too much.
Like Dave said levels too high can have unwanted effects. Mine are mid range for and over the last yearwe have been watching my blood thicken and have had to drop blood a few time to help.

Update on this. So the first few weeks I felt amazing (kind of that alpha male syndrome); I guess from the rapid increase in my T. Then all of a sudden I started feeling less and less better and just could not lose weight. I thought maybe my body was equalizing with the TRT. Had my levels checked this past Monday & they came back at 214 for total (8.6 direct), which was disheartening of course. I read that topical T doesn't seem to work for some people, so I guess I'll be starting the injections soon. Meeting with my endo Monday to discuss more treatment options. *sigh*....

The warnings about transference are massively overblown. They took a couple, applied the gel to his stomach & had them rub together vigorously for FIFTEEN MINUTES & only managed to double the female"s normal very low level of T. Casual contact is not a likely problem, besides you are supposed to cover the application site.
That said, injections are a bit more convienient than daily topical applications.

A 10 week cycle would be wonderful. I'm currently on a 3 week cycle ( testosterone cypionate, 200mg)so I self inject because I'm out of town quite a bit for work.
