If your testosterone is at a good level, I think it’s actually dangerous to supplement with more...be careful!

It probably needs to be counter- balanced with progesterone. Buy a cream and see if that works. I've had success with it so I know it can help.

with testosterone you might want to know your level
Free and total..just to be sure you dont already have a bunch.
i know mine is always super rock bottom low so that is why im confident taking it.

I just got done posting about how hrt does not help me, but i will say that the testosterone DOES help.
I give it to men all the time at work, and like Lou said, OFCOURSE it helps with fatigue, and focus and energy.
Just an update: I started the estrogen AGAIN last week only to discontinue it 5 days later. I just dont have the patience to feel even crazier or worse than i already do,,(i call it 'weird on top of weird'.
so i stopped it, BUT i am still taking the testosteron, and its good.
I have been thinking a bit about the other lady's comment on (moody's comment)on how her provider introduced her slowly to the hormones and began with progesterone, then estrogen, over a few months stime. It kind of makes sense to me.
I might (as another experiment ofcourse) give my body about a week break or more, then try a low dose of progesterone (bioidentical-ive saved) and do it for a month, and then INTRODUCE estrogen slowly and do it for a month.
(im just thinkin about it) because it might be best to get your progesterone level up a bit FIRST then add estrogen..not just slop it all on in one felt dose...
she really had a good experience with this particular regimen and way of dosing, and her symptoms were similar to ours, soo you never know.
cheers

Just want to feel like myself .
It’s all so confusing and VERY stressful especially when you hear so many success stories.
Going to ask my dr is a low dose testeosterone would help me .

I think I may try this too. I ripped my estradiol patch off last night ( only 2mg) and today I feel more human . I’m going to keep it off for a week and see how I do . I’ll keep doing my progesterone over the counter cream by Emeritas as that seems to work and then maybe introduce estradiol 1.5 mg . Also calling dr today to see if I can get a low dose testosterone.
How has it helped you Mauiblue ? What mg are you on ? And did it bloat you ?
Cheers!
