I’ve taken double the dose of testosterone for two weeks!

[EvangelicalAboutButteredToast]

I got confused and have only just realised I’ve taken double the prescribed dose for two weeks. Weirdly I’ve felt really good on it!! Should I lay off it all together for a week or so and then take the correct dosage? I’m scared I’m going to grow a beard 🤦🏻‍♀️

I wouldn’t worry I had double dose for 3 months until I realised the testagel sachets were double the size 😂 I’d been using one sachet a week when they should have lasted two weeks. Blood tests showed I’d gone from 0.01 to top of normal range. Felt amazing! The pea sized amount was actually chick pea size 😳 I’ve dropped the dose now and still feel great. Consultant just smiled, he said I’d fast tracked my HRT journey. No beard, no real harm done.

I felt amazing as well!!! I’ve stopped altogether now. I decided I’d take a two week break and then go back to it on the right dose 🤦🏻‍♀️

How did you get testosterone? I’m keen to try it (non-existent libido in perimenopause) but my GP doesn’t want to prescribe it for me. Can you get it privately?

If you felt good why wouldn’t you continue or at least go back to the smaller does? Not sure why you would take a break.
