Buying testogel online

I'm premenopausal and have recently started taking oestrogen HRT

I've just seen you can easily buy testogel from lots of online pharmacies

I'd love for my doctor to prescribe me some for by non-existent libido but what's the stop me buying some myself

It seems to me a bit foolish to put myself on testosterone without my doctors say so but then if you can easily just buy it online, is this something women are doing?

If you’ve only recently started HRT you need to give it time to before you benefit from it. We are all individual and there’s many products out there took over a year of me trying different types of Hrt to find what works best for you. Honestly Give what your on more time and at your follow up appointment discuss trying something different

I went to Spain last year and bought some there from the pharmacy. My testosterone levels are really low as I had a blood test for it but my doctor just will not prescribe it. I haven't actually tried it yet but will start it soon.

I would get your testosterone levels checked first and after that then it won't hurt to try it. It's scandalous that we are resorted to this but doctors are so woefully ignorant regarding the menopause that sadly for many women this is the path they have to take.

Just to add in to my post above I use a private menopause specialist. Who was brilliant at switching my HRT around until the perfect combination was found. I was offered testosterone at my last appointment but so far I have declined it.
If you go on the BMS website you might find someone close by some of which also do NHS so you could always ask your GP for a referral.
