Hi reena2023,
The advice about testosterone is spot on. Testosterone is as much a female hormone as a male one; we produce a great deal less than men though quite a bit more than our own oestrogen.
GPs can prescribe testosterone off licence (because it comes in male doses that need to be modified for women) or they can give a private prescription for Androfeme - testosterone designed for women and imported from Australia. However, they tend not to prescribe unless advised by a menopause specialist and, even then, some won't prescribe it. You will need to sound out your GP to see a) whether they would prescribe without a specialist's advice, b) whether they would prescribe with a specialist's advice, or c) they will never prescribe it. Then you would know where you stand.
Testosterone is not like oestrogen, in my experience. I use Androfeme. It is a slow burner and it took about 4 months for me to see a difference. Other formulas may work quicker - others can comment. For me, the benefits have been: improved mood, clearer thinking, better muscle tone, more responsive re. sex and more likely to initiate it. It did not turn me into a raving sex maniac! Nor did I grow a beard as one doctor said I would.
It's worth a try. Androfeme is expensive - £92 for a 3-month tube plus the cost of a private prescription. Others, available on the NHS, obviously cheaper and also cheaper by private prescription, eg Testogel.
