A great source of information is the T Nation TRT forum. Read the stickies section a couple times. Your going to need to monitor your Estradiol levels and may have to take an Aromatase Inhibitor if it gets too high. High Estradiol has many of the same effects as low T. Being in shape helps in not producing high Estradiol. Start doing sub cutaneous injections with a 5/8" 25 g needle and inject twice a week. You may also want to consider HCG along with the T injections. It not only keeps your own testicles producing T and not shrinking, but has other benefits as well. It's not as simple as most docs just recommending T. If you tried gel and it did not work, you really need to rule out thyroid issues. Many times those who get no effect from gels/creams have thyroid issues. The stickies section goes into great detail about diagnosing thyroid issues. Sometimes until you resolve any thyroid issue, even injecting T has a poor effect. That's a rough overview of some important points.
