another one of my many recent posts about perimenopause! Has anyone tried testosterone in early perimenopause? I am low in it and keen to hear others experience and knowledge with it. Thank you in advance!

I’ve been on it 4 months. I’m 44.My energy and focus definitely improved quite quickly. Libido hasn’t increased much but enjoyment of sex has so basically still don’t have the urge element but when it happens I’m back to enjoying it so overall worthwhile taking it for me! No side effects that I’m aware of. Doing it privately. My levels had been low for 5 years….and now they are only just in ‘normal’ range.

That's great, were you having any other symptoms bar energy and low libido? Also what were your levels if you don't mind my asking? I'm 40 and mine is 0.4. Thanks
