I'm happy to announce my testosterone has gone from 13 to 234. I didn't honestly think it would jump so quickly. Then again? This seeing a specialist for hrt is all new to me. I really have no side effects, but noticed in the beginning like an itchy feeling. Short term side was extremely painful breasts. Now? Little more chin hair popping up like a low dose var cycle. I'm just happy to be feeling human again.

That is awesome @Torchy ! It makes such a difference in getting your hormones to certain levels. I also am a female and have been on HRT (doing testosterone cypionate) for about 5 yrs now.
LOL on the chin hairs....can so relate.

My lowest Test levels were 6.....my highest at one time was over 300....LOL, oops i put a lil too much in the syringe LOL, but i felt great! Doc yelled at me because it was around the time i had to give blood LOL.

Good luck and hope they stay that way!

Ya know lol!! She's a former bber from Gold's that I worked out in back in the day. I'm kind of wondering what she'll have to say if I "over compensate" while with her. Thanks for your post. I appreciate it!

My wife has been curious about use of PEDs. She got a taste with ostarine but when the little cycle ended I think she crashed, got some tendinitis in the wrist and stopped lifting. At 60 I think what she wants but doesn't really admit it is HRT. I'm afraid to mess with her system. Seems delicate and I'm getting to the point that I don't trust 98% of doctors. She does not like doctors and has not had even a GP is 20 years or more. So sort of a rock and a hard place.

My primary, endocrinologist and ob/gyn did nothing. Not a damn thing. Basically told me to get used to it, you're going to be 50. Not the response I wanted to hear. Furthermore? All of these doctors (used loosely btw) kept saying you're just going through menopause. That's incorrect and I've been with my primary for 20yrs. I had a complete hysterectomy in October 2011. How can you even ask me that? So, an old time lifting buddy locally gave me her name. I looked it up, called and thought: why not? When my test was 13 and everything else in the toilet? She was the only one to tell me I wasn't going nuts. The pellets are a little high. I could buy gh for the cost of one visit, but she does take my insurance for the rest of it. Her cyp comes from a compounding pharmacy named Belmar in Colorado and all organic. However, the blood testing was the most important part and I couldn't even get my docs to run hormonal checks.

Yeah the first place to go is blood work. Glad you found a good one.

Painful breasts likely the estrogen component. Similar Sx from female clients that started both T+E pellet. There will be some androgenic sides over time, depends on genetics, have to weight the sides vs benefits. From the T component, nothing that would be life threatening just depends on what you are willing to accept compared to feeling human again. The sides will plateau over time.

What is your dose and frequency? My wife has done it as well. Her biggest prob was greasy skin.
