I do see what your saying hurdity so think al put just less than a pea size every day...it is easy to do with the pump I just press it down a little bit and it's really quite easy thanks for all the help with this as I don't want to take to much and get the horrible side effects xx

[Keepgoing]

Hi hurdity did you mean half a pea size blob of tostran is equivalent to a pea size of testim and testogel?? Therefore I should use half a pea?? Lol xx

[Hurdity]

EEeek! Glad someone's on the ball! Yes of course I meant that! Well it was fairly earlyish in the morning (perhaps not - I used to be at work at this hour!). In fact I was sitting on the computer waiting for my testosterone to dry!!!!
Sorry about that and will amend my post...

Split pea or lentil it is then......

Lol that was funny xx

5 days on tostran I feel awake and not permanently sleepy like I have been in the past year but past 2 days have a sore stomach feels bloated and have lots of wind...the sore stomach feels like trapped wind. Will this go away as I get used to it or is it not agreeing with me...does testim or testogel cause this?? Xx

10 days on stomach has settled feel a bit bunged up tho...my eyes feel a lot better, have 3 huge spots on my face had 1 of them since day 3 hopefully this is just until my body adjusts as I have never had spots.  Still not a lot of energy and get sore doing to much, I feel like a frail old woman at 45 but I'm hoping it gets better as I know it can take months xx

Thanks for the update Keepgoing

If I'm ever lucky enough to get it I might start a thread too to help others

Hopefully your side effects will lessen as the good ones kick in x

Nearly 3 weeks on tostran and I can say I'm feeling good...my sense of well being is back and I'm much more happy, confident and rational. I hadn't realised but I was actually a little depressed before I started it as I was just so bloody tired all the time. My energy levels are still not great but have improved slightly so I'm just taking things slowly and stopping when I have to for example cutting the grass took 2 days not 1, but I am seeing improvements. The 3 huge spots I got when I started are dying down, I bought clearasil to wash my face so don't know if this helped. I can honestly say to anyone who needs this but is scared of side effects to give it a go cause I certainly think it's worth it, I don't feel 90 years old in my body now. I'm not turning into a man either lol it is just all good. Long may it continue and I hope this may help some of you to give it a go, so keep fighting to get it xxx

Great news Keepgoing and long may it last! I never noticed any effect on my stomach but then I never tie in what my stomach/alimentary canal is doing with what I'm taking. I just ignore it really - it does what it does. If I get slow I just eat a couple of figs!

I think it's important to monitor long term side effects as they by their nature will take a while to manifest themselves - so keep an eye on these and obviously make sure you still have plenty of oestrogen.

I LOVE this update !
It's posts like this that make me determined to not rest until I get T and my mojo back ! X

[Keepgoing]

No need to worry about my estrogen I'm on 3 pumps of gel lol.  I will be keeping my eye on everything esp my hair don't want to lose anymore but saying that it's looking as if it's in a wee bit better condition than it has been. I'm praying I do not get any long term serious side effects as my body really does need it.  I have a sensitive stomach so probably why I noticed this but it's all fine now...to be honest I'm never constipated I'm more the opposite...since this  peri started my bowels have been over active but I have noticed I'm kinda normal now with the T or maybe it's just the whole hrt combo working.  Thanks for advice hurdity and others if I had not come on this site and done some research I don't think I'd be turning a corner now as T was never on my radar...we live and learn xxx

Annie your right not to give up, we know our own bodies and when something is just not right.  It is still early days for me but I really do feel right in myself now...you keep fighting and I hope to be reading your happy updates soon 😀😀 xx

[Annie0710]

Thanks Keepgoing, I worry about my hair, its thinning lots but that I've read can be a symptom of low T, surely it's got to be meno related as I was fine until I got to post meno?

I also read on here (it might've been you) that nocturnal dry eye is a symptom , well within weeks of my night dry eye started my hair started thinning x

[Keepgoing]

Yip it was me my eyes have been sore and dry and very heavy feeling for about a year and it's about a year since I noticed my hair thinning as long as that doesn't get any worse it's fine as I reallly did have very thick hair.  My eyes are sooooo much better that's the first thing I noticed on the T and here was me thinking this was an estrogen problem not a T one.   Where are you now in your fight for T any nearer?   I'm off out now to see Bridget jones baby and I'm looking forward to it as I stopped going out socially cause I felt so miserable but I want to talk again and be sociable if that makes sense xx

[Annie0710]

Omg you really are selling this stuff to me !

I'm waiting for an NHS gynae appt so I'm no further forward and can't afford a private consult yet

I've heard T can thicken hair as long as it's used in proper dosages

I read a report from a trial of T and x amount of women noticed no difference in hair, x noticed an improvement in volume and no one reported loss so that's encouraging

I'm hoping when (if) I get it that it calms my social anxiety too and gives me back my personality

Enjoy the film x
