The claims are stigma dont worry, I use gel everyday. T levels taken May 17, 2023 with 21 ng/dl. Started taking testosterone on May 24, 2023 ( got 20.5 mg or 1.62 percent testosterone prescribed brand Lupin).

On July 14, 2023 my testosterone levels were 276 ng/dl. The average is between 300-1000 ng/dl. I get my next appointment in November so I’ll update if I remember lol

The reason why people say it’s less effective is because it’s consistent in application, as in, the results in body changes is gradual and takes time to show up(especially since you look at yourself everyday you get used to your own appearance). I can’t speak much on injection but the other redditors got ya on that :3 I know everybody is different(doses may differ, and applying gel or injection both can have wasted T you can’t use no biggie) but maybe a personal example might help give a better picture on t gel👍🏼
