man 25mg of gel is basically nothing. most of it doesnt even absorb through the skin anyway. you gotta pump those numbers up if you want to actually feel a difference.

honestly i tried the gel for 3 months and it was a total waste of time for me. switched to injections and felt better in like 10 days. maybe talk to your doc about the pins?

why are u taking half doses? if the doc prescribed 50 its because u need 50 lol. stick to the protocol for a month before you decide it isnt working.

two weeks is still pretty early but yeah half dosing 50mg is probably why you aren't feeling it. the absorption rate on gel is notoriously hit or miss.

lol i remember the gel. hated feeling sticky all day. i'd say just do the full dose man - half of 50mg is barely a replacement dose for a toddler.

you gotta make sure youre putting it on right after a hot shower. pores need to be open or it just sits on top of your skin. but yeah 25mg is super low.

took me about 4-5 weeks to really "feel" my trt kick in. give it some more time but definitely stop cutting the dose in half man. you're just stalling your own progress.

my levels actually dropped on gel because my skin wouldnt soak it up... it happens. might just not be the right delivery method for u.

two weeks is pretty short for the gel to really kick in honestly but yeah if your only doing 25mg thats a tiny dose. most of that stuff doesn't even absorb through the skin properly so your probably getting like 5mg into your system lol. i'd try the full dose and see if that helps

man the gel is notoriously weak compared to shots anyway so cutting the dose in half is basically doing nothing. i tried the gel for a month and it barely budged my numbers even at 50mg. you should probably just stick to the prescribed dose for a bit longer before giving up on it

half doses? why lol. 50mg is actually a pretty standard starting point because the absorption rate is so low. if you dont feel anything its probably because your levels are still bottomed out. i'd go up to the full 50 and wait another few weeks to see if the "brain fog" clears up

gel is such a pain in the ass i hated how sticky it was. and yeah like the other guys said 50mg isnt actually that much when you consider how much stays on your shirt or just doesnt sink in. id go back to the full dose or ask your doc about switching to injections if you want to actually feel it

i'm on the gel too and it took like a full month before i noticed my mood and energy getting better. cutting it in half is probably just wasting your time man. try doing it right after a hot shower when your pores are open that helped me get a better "kick" from it

lol 50mg is definitely not a lot trust me. some guys have to rub that stuff on like twice a day just to stay in the normal range. if your scaring yourself looking at the numbers dont worry - gel is way different than pinning. go back to the full dose or your just gonna feel crashed
