Understanding Infertility
Infertility is the term used to describe the failure to either conceive or to maintain pregnancy to the full term. Infertility affects 15% of Australian couples. Infertility affects 12% of women aged 15 to 44 in the U.S.A., either because they cannot conceive, or they miscarry.
The only area of mainstream medicine where natural progesterone is routinely used is the area of assisted fertility. This use is limited and highly specialized, but does not cover all facets of infertility. Many women have little trouble falling pregnant, but failure to carry the pregnancy beyond week six to ten is an all too common experience for many couples.
Progesterone is the vital hormone that propagates the pregnancy. Often women will use the natural progesterone cream until full term. Treatment is usually dependant upon how advanced the pregnancy is in relation to commencing progesterone supplementation.
This free booklet explains how progesterone plays an intergal part in maintaining pregnancy to full term. This, and more conditions, are summarized in the Progesterone booklet displayed opposite.

I have received your product. I am very pleased. Please forgive me for being skeptical about your product.
When I had health insurance, the Testim was almost completely covered. About $600 per month for two tubes per day. I lost my insurance so the cost was prohibitive.
Why is our (US) healthcare in such dire straights? This is a good example. The cost difference is substantial .
There is huge money involved, but I think our new president is trying to change the status quo. I have forwarded your info to my Doctor.
If our medicare program (65 and older) covers Testim, then we are spending millions of dollars un-necessiarly .
It's a bit strange, but our FDA approves some drugs with little,or no testing, but to get approval for another country I think can be quite difficult.
I wish you well
Please forgive my spelling

Dear Mike
Thank you for your query.
In short the main difference is Testim® 1% gel is applied to the body (abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms) whereas Andromen Forte 5% cream is applied to the scrotum.
Scrotal skin is significantly more receptive to steroid absorption due to it’s high blood flow, thickness of the skin and low fat content. Testosterone cream applied to the scrotum achieves significantly higher testosterone blood levels than the equivalent amount of testosterone applied to other areas of the body. Because Testim® is alcohol based it cannot be applied scrotally due to the sensitivity of scrotal skin.
Blood levels should be checked after 30 days use. Usually we recommend 2 units (50mg) of Andromen® Forte 5% testosterone cream daily as a starting dose to achieve best results then reduce if the 30 day blood tests indicate levels are on the higher side. In terms of the number of mg of testosterone being used it is the same as 1 tube of Testim® (50mg) testosterone dose, however due to the better absorption from the scrotum your serum testosterone levels should equate to the same as if you were using two tubes of Testim®.
I have attached the Andromen® Forte Prescribing Information, CMI and a patient information booklet which details the above.
Using a 2 units (1g of cream equivalent to 50mg testosterone) daily dose of Andromen® Forte 5% testosterone cream there are 50 doses (50 days) supply in each tube.
