Success with Androgel?

Testosterone Gel?

My husband is 45 and has had low testosterone for several years. He was 1st diagnosed when we were dealing with infertility while I was only 25 and he was 31. Our reproductive endocrinologist at the time started him on Clomid and I eventually got pregnant.

He recently had his testosterone checked again and it was 99. His free testosterone a few months prior was 8.74. His PCP prescribed Androgel. He took it at first a few days per week, he kept forgetting, and then he stopped b/c he didn’t feel any better.

He has all the typical symptoms of low testosterone: fatigue, low libido, increased body fat (over the past few years), depressed mood, and occasional ED.

He has talked about asking his MD for an antidepressant, but I honestly think his low T levels are the cause of his problems.

So my question is: Has anyone used Androgel consistently and saw an improvement in symptoms? If so, how long did you use it before you saw improvement?
