Okay so I heard/read mention of several people using these and so I googled for information. DHT harbored no results that anywhere related to topical androgen application. Androgel offered a few websites but most of the information was relative to bio men using it like a steroid to boost work-out blahblahblah

Anyway, I'm curious for all the Trans* people who may have used this, are there any side effects? Aside from the hair growth, voice dropping etc types of effects when used for long periods of time.

For short term use what sort of experiences/changes did you notice? For use under a year.

Are there concerns to be had when using such as potential reactions or other potentially negative effects? The websites listed a mess of medical terms that seemed to apply more to bio men than Trans* people using it for...

muscle building, clitoral growth etc etc etc and all it's other uses.

I'm just really sketchy about using medical things; medication included in this. And would be interested in hearing some people's experiences with this before I seriously consider maybe investing in a small amount, for short-term (under a year) use.

I started taking bio-identical testosterone (similar to androgel) about 2 years ago. As a 55+ year old male - the results were fabulous - especially my ability to rebuild muscles that had been disappearing for years.

No idea how it works for women.

I started using Andractim directly on my cock when I was still not in a situation to fully and visibly transition. In about 6 months my dick went from being barely visible at all to being nearly an inch long. Intermittently I have used it on my abdomen as is typically directed and I have had a teeny bit of fat redistribution, MUCH more adonis belt lines (but I also work out daily), and like four thicker longer hairs starting to form a happy trail.

I have also used DHEA from Walmart at a dose of about 4 pills a day (there are two in a typical serving but you need to bump up the dose for virilizing effects). And I have taken AntiXenoEstrogens which are estrogen blockers you can get from sports and bodybuilding supplement magazines.

I have been taking Androgel. It works about the same as injections, but the changes take a little slower to take effect. The changes will end up being the same after about a year. Some people report skin irritation. Other than that, all of the risks are basically the same. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask.

I've used androgel through my whole transition and feel like my transition has kept almost the exact same pace as my friend on injections. I think the speed of changes varies from person to person, but yeah androgel gets you the same effects as injections in the long run.

I'm heard of DHT being used specifically on the cock (dicklet, whatever you want to call it) for specific growth and androgel being used in place of injectable T and comparable to the effects of the injectable.

There are many people who will even use Androgel while they are getting Testosterone injections because Androgel causes MORE dick growth than T injections alone but if you use only a tiny amount on your dick the effects are really localized. Some doctors will even give it to women with reduced genital sensitivity and difficulty orgasming because it is said to help sensations there without being a real virilization risk if only using a pea sized amount directly on the genitals.

This is all really interesting, from what I've heard and read about, it's not good to apply T directly to the genitals, but I wasn't able to figure out why. BUT, this was in context to the T cream I was using, it may have had to do with some of the other ingredients in it.

I should do some more research on DHT tonight.

Sometimes, if it is the prescription T, it can decrease its effectiveness because it is designed to be absorbed elsewhere.

The DHT however is absorbed very easily BUT, I must warn you it has a high enough alcohol content that when you start using it, it can burn quite sharply. No damage just discomfort and feeling like you're drying out. You get used to it after a few weeks but I know other people who have quit because they wouldn't stick with it.

The alcohol in it dehydrates your skin so it will absorb moisture more thoroughly, thus absorbing the gel just put onto it which started the whole process.

Do you have to have a prescription to buy Andractim? I'm not really looking for obvious affects either as... that really isn't an option for me. Don't need people that don't need to know questioning something I'm not willing to explain to them B|
