@dr.amybkillen: Dr Rebecca Glaser, a surgeon who specializes in breast cancer, has several studies that show menopausal women need supra-physiologic doses of testosterone therapy to see significant symptom relief. 🤔 ✅ But, higher doses also come with more side effects (facial hair growth, acne) so you have to walk the line of "what is an effective dose for me that causes few side effects?" Balancing symptom improvement with side effects is key when giving testosterone to women and sometimes takes a little trial and error. 💪 🖊️ Glaser, R, Maturitis, Volume 74, Issue 2, 2013 #testosterone #perimenopause #perimenopausehealth #menopauseawareness #hormones #hormonereplacementtherapy #libido #sexualhealth #steongwomen

Blood levels shows how much T is riding around. Tissue levels, IMO, are more useful. I have utilized saliva labs for 30 yrs. Been fooled by blood many times. Women make 0.3mg to 0.5mg per day, keep that in mind and start there.. ZRT labs has helped us help women with hormonal balance.

I'd love to see you. When mine is higher like 150 I feel better but break out and now I'm having symptoms putting it on my inner thigh I'll bloat up shortly after and gain weight too but on my outer thigh I dont get above 70 with same dose of compound testosterone. I'm so tired of struggling with that and estradiol and progesterone. I would give anything to feel good and live life again. battling for 5years now it's no life

Maybe for some women. Whenever my levels get high I feel horrible. Not to mention start shedding hair and growing a beard. I actually have more energy and better mood when it’s on the lower portion of the range

I have tried the pellets and my testosterone levels were so high and estrogen levels were so low that I’m not really sure I saw any benefit at all. It was as difficult navigating through such a quick release of hormones as it was navigating through as they wore off. I ended up going off the pellets and back onto a more standard oral therapy.
