      Ok thank you Joanne I’m only on a low dose as my testosterone wasn’t too bad ... it’s to help with the fatigue I’m suffering from. Glad it’s working for you I’m also on the patch which is helping too.

      Do you take estrogen too? I’m on progesterone as well, and about to start a low dose of testosterone as well.

      I’m on estrogen patch and progesterone cream and now a low  dose testosterone . I didn’t tolerate the progesterone/estrogen patch combo ( made me very depressed) but separately I’m ok with it ... go figure.

      Good to know Joanne ... I’m on a very low dose too and was worried about side effects . Heard it can help immensely if the dose isn’t too high .
