At 68 the GSM became so bad. No intercourse for several months, burning when sitting, etc. Tried Estrogen cream to start, then IntraRosa - which helped far more - but still not enough. So I chose Fotona vaginal laser treatments to restructure the lining of the vagina by stimulating fresh collagen fibers, etc. Healing from 2nd treatment and hope it’s enough. I also started systemic Testosterone and Estrogen patches along with 200mg micronized Progesterone. Living in Portugal it has been a big challenge! You need to see an anti-aging doctor to find Testosterone treatment for women. 🤦🏼♀️

This was so great. I just started taking compounded oral testosterone Nov 2023, 3mg. My brain functionand brain fog improved. I am encouraged. I am trusting the process and not expecting to feel fantastic but feeling better and gaining the positives for taking it. I am not feeling as good as I did when I started it last year but I am hoping that it is life style factors that are contributing to this. I am so encouraged to just wait it out and see. I already taking estradiol and vaginal estradiol and progesterone which helps me sleep. The testosterone was the missing piece.

My understanding is that transdermal testosterone is safer and can’t convert to a compound we don’t want in the liver

Is it oral or a troche? From what I have read a troche enters the circulatory system like a cream would.

So glad this popped up today, all adds to our knowledge and self help. I'm going between the private help and NHS. Just had a blood test where my GP said testosterone is a little high but I'll have another blood test in 3 or 4mths. I feel quite good but maybe my hair thinning that has been another problem is more hypo thyroid but I don't want them to stop my hrt.

I'm in Scotland and Intrarosa isn't available on the NHS here in Glasgow. Not because it isn't a great product, but because Theramex haven't made a submission to the Scottish Medicines Consortium for Intrarosa yet . This needs to change ASAP. If prasterone can help so many women, and it's prescribed elsewhere, it needs to be available here too. 😊xx

Completely agree with Dr Harper about local oestrogen cream being offered, starting in perimenopause. It needs to be a policy. I had to ask for it in my 50s, was never offered it, and my GP said it wasn't prescribed if on systemic HRT, as not needed. Having to battle every step of the way for basic menopause care is really unacceptable. We already know it's nothing to do with prescribing hormones, because no hesitation for oral contraceptives prescriptions. Having a policy for estriol cream would fix that and make all midlife women's lives better 😊xx

That’s why they refuse to give us women HRT, Pharmaceutical companies would not be so rich, doctors would see less patients! It’s about the money & they don’t care about us women’s health. I saved myself the trouble and drove to Mexico and bought the gel and oral estrogen.

Great info. I am getting my testosterone cream through an online hormone clinic. I felt they were ramping up my dose too fast. I went from a testosterone level of 16 to 52 in just 5 weeks. I started to get some pretty severe fluid retention. I backed off my dose by half and that went away. Doctor still didn't officially change my dose but I'm only applying half. At least my cream will last longer 😅 it's hard to get good advice about testosterone for women. I don't need any help losing hair, I already have AGA. Can't use minoxidil sadly because it makes me dizzy. I'm 37 and taking progesterone and now testosterone. The testosterone seems to be boosting my estrogen levels which I like.

I don’t know about external testosterone, but a lot of the women in my life (including the menopausal ones) are finding that standardized hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract has done wonders for their physical and mental wellbeing. My mum and girlfriend’s mum are having a tough time with menopause in particular, and this has helped a lot with the joint pain and hot flashes. They also feel more energetic and less moody. Not sure if it’s the healthy testosterone levels helping them or just hormonal balance in general, but they’re feeling a lot better than they have in months.

I took testosterone pellets for 8 mo. And it made my hair fall out and caused hair follicle miniaturization. I can't find any info on hair fall and follicle miniaturization in women following testosterone pellets. All the info is for men. Can you tell me, is my hair shaft thinning likely permanent or will it eventually return to normal?
