Measure
Testosterone Gel 10 g and Nestorone® 0 mg Per Day
Two individual packets of Testosterone Gel, each with 5 g of gel applied to each arm delivering a total of 100 mg of Testosterone on the skin. Nestorone® Gel will be delivered by a pump configured to deliver 4 mL of gel containing 0 mg of Nestorone® by pressing two times with the 2 mL dispenser head. Testosterone: Two individual packets of T Gel, each with 5 g of gel applied to each arm delivering a total of 100 mg of T on the skin daily. Nestorone®: Nestorone® Gel will be delivered by a pump configured to deliver 4 mL of gel containing 0 mg of Nestorone® by pressing two times with the 2 mL dispenser head.
