I don't know why you have to have a specially made cream with testosterone,
to avoid injections. There are gels available (by prescription) to apply
daily on the skin for testosterone supplementation, and I believe this is
the most common type of T supplementation these days. Some brand names are
Androgel, Testim, I believe others as well. Look up androgel on the net. You
do not have to go to a transgender site to find out about t supplementation.

I am a 68 year old male with osteopenia in the femurs and osteoporosis in
the spine. My free testosterone level is 1.4%, versus the normal level of
1.6% to 2.9%.
I have been losing muscle mass for years, and am now down to 150 lbs on a
6'-3" frame. (My wife says I should audition for the next film on prison
camps because my type of physique is hard to find.)
The most comprehensive and useful guide to testosterone replacement
therapy that I could find (and I needed to look no further) was Hudson's
FTM Resource Guide. The page on testosterone types and delivery is at
http://www.ftmguide.org/ttypes.html
I had hoped to find a means of avoiding injections. This site helped me
find a compounding pharmacy right here in my local town. The pharmacist
there will make up an oil-based cream that will slowly release
bio-identical human testosterone through the skin.
Application will be once daily. Concentration will be determined by the
prescribing physician. Application will be to the inner thigh or abdomen
or other area of relatively hair-free, thin skin.
The cream will be packaged in a syringe that will allow for very accurate
dosing. The syringe has no needle. You just read the numbers on the
barrel of the syringe as you depress the plunger to expel the dose of
cream onto your skin.
This website offers a very clear and detailed account of every aspect of
testosterone replacement therapy, and is maintained by someone who should
know.
FTM stands for "female to male". The author is a transgender man who has
been through it all. His goal is to make this knowledge available to the
world, and I thanked him for that with a small donation through his site,
via PayPal. No telling how much time his site saved me.
I will post again later, with a follow-up.

Endos are a very poor choice of expert when it comes to testosterone
hormone
replacement. The brand name versions of testosterone cream
are often more costly that those prepared by the pharmacies that
specialize
in whipping these creams up.
Google the Musclechatroom and signup, they have a wealth of
information.
