Best time of day to use testosterone
« on: September 06, 2023, 06:15:31 AM »

Hi wise folk, I’m starting testosterone today and wondered if there’s a ‘good’ time of day to take it? I use my oestrogel in the morning and cyclogest at night. Thank you x

I apply mine early morning.  It's said to peak in men early morning & that women's production follows a similar circadian pattern.  With HRT we are trying to reproduce as best we can what happens in nature.  If that doesn't work for you you can always shift it.

Wish I'd known - ditto - I apply T gel in the morning and the same with my patches (changed every 3 days) and Utrogestan at night when on this phase of my cycle
