A very interesting article.
I have just been prescribed 4 weeks worth of Testogel due to me losing my ability to climax since about February 2020. Have been applying it for 6 days now so it’s probably a bit early to notice any changes 🤞🤞

RedChic:
Using a mirena coil for testosterone, have it replaced a couple of times already. Due to be replaced again now after 4 years for HRT, aware however that you can use it for 5 years as a contraceptive. Is it urgent to have it changed during COVID-19 or wondering if it can wait a while yet? Any opinions/experience of this greatly appreciated, thanks

Marionjayne:
RedChic your mirena is replacing progesterone :)

I had wondered if testosterone would help with PMT feelings I'm experiencing on the progesterone tablet I'm perimenopause and just started taking oestrogel initially with utostrogen but trying provera now but still have awful PMT n generally feel it's not agreeing this is my second month on provera.
