[QUOTE="Amberlin, post: 101390, member: 17922"] In years of research, I finally took the plunge & after seeing the proof via blood tests that my hormones are not properly aligned, I am currently on testosterone. In reading the post, it says, "The therapy of choice is a topical cream..." This is accurate of DOCTORS & somepatients who either don't have ill side effects or don't know there is another option: injections. For me, the cream was a "dirty" delivery system & I gained only negative side effects. Only 2 weeks into injection T therapy, I seem to be doing well. The only negative side effect to report are sore/itchy nipples which I'm told will subside. Posts like this are interesting but I'd love to see more women ringing in on their experiences. There is very little information available to us beyond medical information which is clinical & seems to be based on "Ranges" which are what allowed me to go untreated by conventional doctors for so long. Currently, my testosterone level is 4. Because the range for women, as noted above, is 45-120, my level at 4 was deemed acceptable numerous times by numerous doctors. Thankfully, through the help & guidance from Defy Medical, I am finally getting some long needed help. Though I am only 2 weeks into therapy, I still feel there is a lingering hormonal issue (possibly high estrogen) which was noted as being at the high end of the range. With my treatment being so new, we will continue to monitor my blood work & I'm currently scheduled for thyroid blood work in a few days. When injecting, blood work is best done on the last day of the decline. Some refer to this as the "trough". [/QUOTE]
