There's a thread in Private Lives, called "Testosterone here we go". Good luck with it.

I have been on tostran gel for a 3 months and found it helped with sex drive and tiredness and my mood level. However started getting 'aggressive'  and hairy inner thighs from where I applied gel.  Now been switched to Testogel sachets which has less totesterone. Not sure it is affective yet only in second week. Get it through my menopause/sexual health clinic. Its hard to get dosage right due the fact it is a man's product. Female version was taken off the official list

I use Tostran one pump every other day, my levels haven't been tested but the dose feels right. I apply it to the soles of my feet to prevent hairy thighs, it isn't where it's supposed to be but it seems to work just as well.

Yes. I wanted it for muscle tone as I was repeatedly pulling muscles, it's also meant I don't have to do pelvic floor exercises which was an unexpected bonus. Libido improved (it was nil) but not the same as when I was 20. Response is back to normal.
