How to convert Androgel to test cyp

[littlebigman]

is there a mathmatical formula to figure out if someone was on 5g/day of andro gel, what that would approximately be equal to in test cyp??

Based on all the readings i see on here, most docs either do 200mg eow of cyp or 10grams/day of androgel

But curious what the conversion is

Ok better question:

If i were doing 200mg of cypionate per week and 5g (4 pumps) of androgel per week....how many mgs would i say i am using per week of total test? like 230?? 215?? what...

dude - you are always helpful so i wish i had an answer for you. I can tell you I threw the gel away - sucks - got on my girlfriend and cat and doesn't work well. it gets on your sheets etc as oyou sleep then your girl absorbs it or your pet. seriously - uits not a good way to go.

Just in case anyone wants to know...i found my answer.

You absorb about 10% of the gel....

So if someones doc puts them on 10g/day....

10g x 7 days in a week =70g or 700mg

700mg x 10% = 70mg per week.

No wonder eveyone prefers 200mgs of cyp every 2 weeks!
