Experience of using testosterone gel?

I've been on HRT (Elleste Duo) for almost a year. It's really helped and up until the last few months I've been fine. But now my sex drive is pretty much non existent, I'm so dry vaginally and my mood is so low I'm considering antidepressants!

Would testosterone gel work for me? What are others experience of using it?

Thanks.

I love my T gel. It gives me back the energy that the progesterone leaches from me.

But are you using ovestin for the vaginal dryness?

I've been on it for around 3-4 months. I've been on Oestrogel for around a year and I've got the mirena. Honestly...? I haven't noticed any difference at all with the testosterone 😕

I keep hearing that it takes a long time to kick in, so persevering for now.

(Practically speaking, it's a real pain in the arse to get my 1/10th of a dose out of those bloody sachets, so if it's not doing anything I'd stop taking it)
