Talk to me about Testosterone

[searchforthesun]

Has it helped with tiredness, and has it made you spotty and hairy?
I’m trying to decide if I should take it.
I have oily skin and lots of downy hair so I’m worried it will make it worse.
Im also exhausted!

It has helped with my tiredness / lack of motivation. My bikini line has got a bit worse but it hasn’t been great for a while 🤣. I am yet to notice any extra hair else where. I have been on it about 2 months and had 1 spot in that time which is about average for me

@SweatySpider321Thank you for replying, it’s so helpful to hear it’s helped with your tiredness. I just feel so anxious about the possible side effects!

IME the benefits have far outweighed the slightly hairier thighs.

That's reassuring to hear. What specifically did it help you with?

What have been the benefits for you? Are you on estrogen too?

No brain fog, more energy, stronger orgasms.
I'm also on everol 50 patches and utrogestan. If you take testosterone without optimal oestrogen then it just converts to oestrogen.

@Additupis the extra hair just where you apply the gel/cream?

I had awful acne on my chin from age 20
to about 40. Sadly testosterone gel brought that back with a vengeance before I’d even had time to see if it was having a positive effect on my energy/muscle mass/libido. Very disappointing!

I have been on it for about 2 years. I didn’t notice much difference in anything to be honest and when I had a blood test and was told I had elevated levels I was surprised. The standard dose is too high for me (I’m short) so I’m on half dose. A sachet lasts me two weeks, not one. I think I will exhaust this supply and then stop and see how I feel. I may notice a difference now if I stop as I’m 2 years older, but I certainly didn’t notice a difference at the time, even though the dose was too high.
I’ve come to the conclusion that everybody is different. Give it a try and if it doesn’t suit you, you can always stop. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good luck!

Yes. It doesn't appear overnight though and imo is worth it 😁

I should also mention I'm using androfeme not the testogel. I don't know if that makes any difference, other than its much easier to measure out and designed for women (and only available privately unfortunately).

I haven’t noticed a massive increase in energy but it has helped with sexual function. My thighs are hairier where I apply it and the fine hair on my face is back at the ‘southern European’ levels of my teenage years which is slightly annoying, but worth it to have my orgasms back.
