Oh, hey, haven't heard from you in a while! How's things?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to get any noticeable changes for months based on what seems to be the consensus online (and what my endo told me). I had the thought pretty early on that my body seemed to be taking to T really well (something something meant to be something something dark side), but I also doubted my sanity. /-: I can only imagine I've got some damn good T receptors because there's certainly not much in my system (and I had symptoms of high T levels before even though tests proved otherwise).

Thanks for sharing your experience with applying gel to the thighs. My only other source on this was leotron, who somewhere on Tumblr posted a picture of his thighs after his first month on sketchy-ass T cream showing that it definitely had a local effect (the thigh he applied T to was way, way hairier than the one that never touched the stuff), but I can't exactly ask him about it. Have you noticed any local effects? I also wonder if it affects absorption, like maybe there's more fat under the skin on the thighs than on the back. . .

Every time I think changes are slowing down, I seem to notice something new. /-: I guess I'm not entirely clear on whether a low dose will eventually give me comparable changes to a full dose or if I'll level out some time soon, in which case continuing indefinitely would be groovy. I have two characters of sorts on my shoulders, the one (let's call him "Spock") that says "You've done the illogical thing you were compelled to do by emotions and gotten what you needed from it, so you should stop now simply because it's no longer strictly necessary." and the one (let's call him "Kirk") that says "You've never felt so good in your entire life and should keep doing whatever it is that effects that change!" I guess Spock has been in control for so long that it's hard to ignore him, and I'm breaking the promise I made to him pre-T to logically re-evaluate things at regular intervals.

Things are good!

When I apply the gel to my inner thighs, I apply it to both, like do it quickly enough so it gets on both thighs before it starts drying, then wipe the rest on my lower back. And I haven't noticed any local effects... That's a good question about absorption though, not sure on that!

I'm curious if you have links to resources or peoples' experiences taking low-dose for the long term? I haven't really found anything, but maybe I just haven't been searching in the right ways...

If you're interested, I've been writing here:

And by the way, I'm definitely rooting for "Kirk." Haha.
