Am interested to hear that testosterone is being prescribed for a range of symptoms, all of which apply to me. Can I ask if this is private prescribing? VictoryV, am especially interested in your not having to complete three months on oestrogen or have evidence that this had levelled out first? Hoping to demystify some conflicted opinions I'm getting, so, thanks!
Hi Postmeno, I got my first NHS HRT prescription in early August; 3 bottles of gel, 3 packs of Utrogestan and a Testogel pump.
I’d read that Testosterone wasn’t to be taken until Estrogen levels were right so I stuck the Testogel in the fridge for 5 weeks. The gel got rid of most of the symptoms however getting up to pee several times a night was driving me nuts so I started taking the Testogel daily.
I think it was a prescription error however I’ve put a repeat request in and it’s ready to collect.

I joined private lists but I’m happy with my own GP at the moment.

I can’t be certain which med is doing what, had I waited 3 months before adding T I may have a better idea.

Victoria.

I was prescribed my Testosterone privately too - it's actually BHRT which I know can be controversial, but I've never had any issues with it  :)

Victoria that's really reassuring to hear your skin problems cleared up - I remember you saying it now! Interesting that you felt the sex drive thing early on too! Shame that I'm single and overweight  ;D

Hard to say on the brain fog and anxiety aspect - I do know I feel pretty good at the moment, but hard to pinpoint exactly why. I started reducing my Lenzetto dose yesterday to 1.66 sprays (1 and 2/3 spray) so I'm a bit nervous about that, but really want/need to do it so keeping my fingers crossed!x
