Hi I was wondering if anyone is on the tostran gel and had any side effects. I am not sure if my voice is cracking or if it's tiredness and the cold weather and then going into heat. I'm also on my own working most the day so don't talk to anyone and when I do talk I don't know if it's a dry voice or if it's I'm cracking. I have hair on my upper lip too which wasn't there and in the lower area my sex drive is back and my partner is always commenting on how my little lady in the boat is more on show🤣so that has added more paranoia. I was told by my doctor to increase to a pump and a tiny bit as my bloods came back low. But I've read this doesn't seem to give accurate readings to go by. The doctors are so hard to get in touch with just now and that call me to keep in touch how things are going but by the time they get to me I'm scared I am going to be a man ♂️ not funny . Anyone had anything like this please advise.oh and iv noticed when I laugh too it's a weirder laugh I have though my sister and friend says I sound the same and it's just temperature or not drinking enough water as well as the pitch of my voice with mood that day also that I'm being more aware of. Any help would be great xx

Temperature and not drinking enough water really shouldn't affect the tone of your voice to a noticeable degree. Yes we all get a hit hoarse if dry but that's about it.

I don't know how much a pump is but women talk about a tiny pea sized about every other day or a couple of times a week. I would follow your instincts regards your voice tone and either stop or drastically reduce the amount you are using.

Hi thank you for the reply. I think you gave good advice there and I'm going to listen to you. They don't seem to be keeping in touch as they should and it could run on long enough with no help. The thing is...it's not a pea sized amount and I have told them that the pump isn't dispensing that size and it's more a good 3 by 3 inches it spreads and the doctors haven't really been bothered just that I was to add more so that even half the size of this amount. It's more a broad bean size to a pea lol. My voice doesn't seem so bad today. The only thing I would say good is that I have no depression now and I can sleep and I'm more focused and can express myself after being in a very controlling relationship. So this is the only good side from this. Iv held back a few days but I think I'll go back to the 1 pump every second day.

'is...it's not a pea sized amount and I have told them that the pump isn't dispensing that size and it's more a good 3 by 3 inches'

Don't depress the dispense fully just push the dispenser a bit, do a quarter pump so you get a dot of gel.

I don't want to alarm you but bear in mind any voice changes are permanent i believe, so now is definitely the time to go for none at all or pea sized.

Good that sleep amd mood is better though! just as I say, less is more. Hair on the face, altered genitals and voice changes are signs you've had too much.
