Hi all. I am 76 and my husband is 72. We have been discussing this for awhile now and there is definitely a sense of loss. We are both going to try out testosterone pellets or injections. We are also interested in the other benefits. I happened to be in my physician assistant's office to review the status of my spine and I mentioned my intent. He was gung ho about it.

"Which option did you choose—pellets or injections? I understand that injections are much cheaper and easier to adjust in terms of dosage. Have you checked out the subreddit for women using testosterone to improve libido? If you chose injections, would you be willing to share your experience?

I’m currently using a compounded 4mg testosterone/2mg DHEA cream along with a 0.05 estradiol patch for osteopenia. I've found that the testosterone/DHEA combination helps with my libido and orgasms. Recently, I also tried the Sildenafil cream from Alloy, which has been a helpful addition for me. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it also helps reduce pain in my lower lumbar spine due to degeneration by reducing inflammation.

The compounded prescription is expensive, and I’m considering switching to the more affordable injections."
