I sought a second opinion from this cardiologist who speciazes in women's cardiovascular care and was recommended by several doctors. She advised me not to use testosterone after reviewing all my labs and tests. I didnt ask further since I was focused with estradiol + progesterone therapy for bone benefits with no testosterone treatment in mind at the time. My background was a mild cad (38 cac score at lad), LDL-c controlled by 5mg crestor and pre-diabetes controlled via a heart healthy diet. I dont have a family history of cvd or metabolic diseases. The cardiologist reset my LDL-c target to less than 55 and HbA1c to equal or less than 5.6 and told me my heart should last into my 90s and that adding estradiol +progesterone therapy wont present a problem. Now my worry is my bones won't last that long 🙁
