I noticed a good libido bump trying it when applied to the scrotum. Only negative side effect I experienced were some estrogen related sides. I have a lower SHBG though so small increases seem to effect me more than others.My provider has added HRT cream to my protocol. Low dose cream (12.5) application daily along with my (bi-weekly) testosterone injections.
Anyone else doing this protocol? Did it help with Libido? any side effect?
I have been on TRT for about 10 years
I don’t. I think my next protocol change will be cream only applied to the scrotum.
Is the libido bump predictable enough that you could use the cream to peak libido for sexy time several hours later?

It is for me, I notice a definite increase afterwards. It seems to peak several hours later and then return to baseline 24 hours after. I would let it absorb/dry for some time to minimize the transfer concerns. Worth a try to see if it helps you in my opinion.Is the libido bump predictable enough that you could use the cream to peak libido for sexy time several hours later?
