Looking for some advice, I am a patient at Newson health and have been on hrt for 5 months now. I still have a low libido so I am interested in getting the testosterone but I am told I need a blood test prior. My NHS doc won’t issue it so I will need to get it done privately. I had a look online and there are so many different names for it, does anyone know in more detail what test we need¿ I noticed a lot of home kits, but maybe they are not the right level of detail…. Thanks in advance for any advice, much appreciated

Hi, I’m with Newson also. They didn’t ask me for a blood test before prescribing HRT, Inc testosterone which I’ve been on since November. They did say I needed a blood test after 3-4 months of testosterone and then every 12 months.

Hi,my daughter has just been prescribed Testosterone,but she did have to go private and have a blood test first
She is really pleased,as within days it has made a difference to her libido, but worried as hair falling out,which i am going to address in a different thread

I am also with Newson. I didn't need a blood test before getting testosterone - but I did after 3 months, to get more. And I understand a test will be required yearly to keep getting it.
Newson have their own network of private blood testing providers around the country. Give them a call or email and ask for information on your nearest location.
