46, perimeno here.
I tried hrt for about 6 months in 2021 then stopped as it wasn't helping my symptoms much and I felt like it was having negative effects on my mental health.
My symptoms have recently worsened so I'm giving hrt another try. I'm desperate to get back to myself,you all know how it is!
I'm convinced my testosterone needs topping up. I'm an athlete and both my performance and drive have plummeted, my previous mental sharpness is gone, I have zero libido, etc.
I'm only 2 weeks into my return to hrt - oestrogel and utrogestan - and it is helping a little, I think, but my training performance is actually getting worse.
I'm keen to try testosterone, I've been reading up on it and it really sounds like it would help me. My current prescription is for 3 months before a review but I'd add testosterone right now if possible.
Anyone got experience of this?
I so miss the way my body used to respond to training, the explosive energy, and the mental determination I just can't seem to drum up now.
Can anyone help please?
