Thanks ------------------------- Rick, by far the cheapest way to go is to self inject testosterone either once a week or once very two weeks. More expensive is skin spread ons and patchs like Androgel and Androderm, these in fact are very expensive because you are paying for big drug company advertising, sales reps commissions, and big profits. Most expensive of all is pellets, these have to bought and surgically put in your butt flesh every couple of months. The surgical site can be a bit sore for a few days and they recommend you periodically ice the area to keep swelling down. Pellets release a steady stream of T with no sudden surge like shots, therefore some argue that pellets control gyne best leave one hassle free for months, but very very expensive, couple thousand dollars a year or so is a very rough estimate, from my own experience in trying pellets.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hello Rick and welcome, I would say yes injections are cheaper, but you would have to have someone like a nurse teach you how to inject yourself and what needles are best. I tried injections for a few months and had a visiting nurse covered under my insurance to treat me. I didn't like giving myself a shot every couple of weeks. It was painful in my behind and more painful and saw in my arm. And I was given myself too much T because reading the MM, etc confused me. Oh and going to get needles made me feel as if I was using them for drugs, especially by pharmacists in the beginning. I would say if your insurance or you or a third-party can pay for the gel do so. Its easier to put on and use overall.
