I was told to use Testim on my tummy but I'm now using Tostran and I've moved from thigh to shin as coarse hair was growing on application site

Hi Hurdity,
Thank you so much for the message and information its very much appreciated. I shall go with the lower leg area (hair growth not as much of an issue then.) I'll also take a look at your info as suggested.

I read somewhere it's best to rotate sites and not use the same place for 10 days.
Has anyone had any side effects with T? I'm trying to pluck io the courage to give it a go

Jan-may Tibolone which converted to mimic testosterone
May- present Tostran gel

Annie any difference in the types of gel? Did you mention before it's helped your hair? Mines still coming out some, but has got stronger on Premarin. I think.

Yes Tostran is double the strength of Testim and testogel and comes in a much bigger amount (canister)
I think I must just need a higher dose than the average female as I really didn't notice any difference at all with Testim x
