Title: How long on testosterone before you felt anything..
Post by: uncannylizard81 on December 27, 2022, 12:02:36 AM
I’m an impatient old bag, and wondering how long you were taking T, before you felt any different with your symptoms? Days/weeks/months?

Thanks x

Will be following with interest.
I’ve just stated tostron x 3 pumps weekly. I’m hoping it will help with sleep and and energy.

Been searching for hours, the search box only lets me put in one word, so get thousands of posts which mention testogel, which hasn’t helped much :(

Hi uncannylizard

First re searching. If you go to the home page of the forum and click the search tab ( blue) you can type in any number of words. Hopefully you can find some suitable threads. I did start a long-running thread when I started T gel "Testosterone here we go" in private lives. Probably a bit out of date now and meanders off topic a bit but you may find some useful information there.

Here it is and I've bumped it for you too:

You will see that I was told it could take 4-5 months to fully take effect due to bodily (cellular) changes rather than instant results although actually there maybe some effects to libido sooner?

21 weeks in and I’m not sure it’s made any difference to my symptoms… my libido wasn’t an issue anyway but as Oestrogel and utrogestan didn’t seem to be enough anymore to control my low mood, anxiety and tears, I was hoping testosterone would be the key.
We’re all different though so it may well work wonders for you!
