For those of you who are contemplating testosterone I just thought I'd update you on my first six weeks.
I am peri menopausal, still having fairly regular periods but was struggling with lack of libido, no sexual sensation, drop in confidence, poor memory, generally not feeling like me. I was prescribed one pump per day of tostran.
In the first couple of weeks I seemed to react badly to alcohol- not sure if this was just coincidence or not but it resolved quickly - phew!.
After about three weeks my sensation during sex came back with bells on. Libido has not changed and so husband is still having to make the first move but things are so much better than they were. I'm back to enjoying intimacy rather than feeling like I am broken.
I've just had a six week blood test and was told that my testosterone levels are now abnormally high - as advised by the more experienced of you on here my dose was too high and I have been reduced to one pump every other day. Turns out that the consultant had suggested every two days but GP had prescribed daily in error.
Its still early days for things to improve further if they are going to, but I am so happy with the results so far that if this is as good as it gets I can live with the other symptoms.
Will update again after my next six week check.
