[QUOTE="Amberlin, post: 101386, member: 17922"] Hi. I am a new member & as I've found very little openly shared information available for T therapy for women, I've come here. I noticed your post & wanted to share my experience as it seems to differ from others in that I am injecting vs applying cream. My starting dose was .05 to increase to 1mg at 2 weeks or "as needed". After the fist injection, I increased to 1 with no negative side effects. Typical beginning injections for women (per my doctor @ Defy Medical) are anywhere from the very low dose I started .05 up to 5mg I inject twice weekly @ 1mg each time. Today marks my 3rd injection & the only side effects I've noticed are itchy/sore nipples which I'm told are a normal side effect which will thankfully subside after some time. Prior to beginning injections, I tried a topical cream which was a poor choice for me. I have a very sensitive system & the delivery method of the cream was "dirty". Injections are known to be the cleanest & have the least amount of side effects as they contain the least amount of fillers. Think of it in terms of food. A burrito made at home is much "cleaner" than the Taco Bell burrito because who knows what their ingredients are. I will tell you than anyone who recommends you start an injectable dose at your mentioned levels, should be avoided in a big way. I hope this helps a little. [/QUOTE]
