How long does testosterone gel take to work?
« on: May 03, 2018, 04:42:27 PM »

I'm struggling with brain fog, exhaustion and low libido, GP will prescribe testosterone but only after a consultant agrees, so I'm seeking a private appointment at the moment.

My question is, for those with experience of adding testosterone to a regime with oestrogen and progesterone (elleste/utrogestan), how long does it take to start working?

Thank you.

I think other posts on here have said 4-5 months.

I am on Oestrogel, Utrogestan and testosterone . I was very ill when I started this combination with total exhaustion, constant nausea and felt awful. Three months on and I'm back at the gym and enjoying a normal life again.

Hi Daisydot I was using testogel in sachets but they aren't available at the moment. So I was given Tostran yesterday by the specialist I have been seeing. It cost me £35 and should last 5/6 months. My GP won't prescribe it  :( x

Hi Dotty, who did you see? My new surgery have refused my Tostran until I've seen an nhs gynae but he chooses who I see, he's dismissed the letter from another nhs gynae suggesting I try testosterone so I'll hsve to go private x
