    The online gender clinic are prescribing testogel, 25mg a day for 3 months to start with. Am I likely to experience noticeable changes on this or is this just priming my body for injections?

    Chase Ross has a lot of info on gel T on his youtube channel if you're interested. https://youtu.be/8A1jhByzN2I

    They call it androgel in the us and canada.

    First of all, "online gender clinic" sounds extremely sketchy.

    Secondly, testogel isn't recommended as you're strongly discouraged of touching anybody else for hours after. Testosteron can be a helluva drug.

    Yeah that does sound a little odd. I didn't even notice that.

    As for the touching people, I do suggest watching that video (he has others about it as well). He addresses that. You apply it to your shoulders generally, wait five minutes for it to dry, then put a shirt on over it. You shouldn't swim or touch anyobe bare skinned for a couple hours and you have to wash your hands right away, but according to Chase it isnot a big deal.

    A mutual of my partner just started T and he's on gel as well, and he mentioned the wait time it takes for it to dry. As Patrick said, you shouldn't touch anyone for at least two hours after applying it.
