Art of Transliness

Answer
Hi there! I have been on T for almost two years. I'm thrilled with the results, but I am sick of doing injections, so I'm thinking about switching to a gel. I will keep my dose the same. As far you guys know, will this change in formula have any effect on my body or how I feel? Thanks for all the work you do for dudes like us!

Zak: I don’t know, I’ve only ever been on the gel and Adrian has only ever been on injections. The major difference is that you will be putting hormones into your body every day instead of every week (or every other week), which means that your levels will likely be more stable on the gel. However, you may or may not notice any differences because of this. I’ve heard of several people switching from injections to the gel once they are further along in transition but none have mentioned feeling all that much different. You might want to ask your doctor for more details about this.
