Testosterone pellet therapy for women

I have a pellet that contains estrogen and testosterone. The progesterone is an oral med. And I also use an estrogen vaginal cream.
So, amazing results for me are return of libido, no more vaginal atrophy or dryness. No more urine leaks. Better concentration, clearer thinking, a zest for life, a general sense of connection with my body and enjoyment of my body and life.

Oops. I am 76. I started. Hrt about 6 months ago

Wow! Thank you for this valuable information. It’s very encouraging. However a week ago I started taking the progesterone vaginal pill for vaginal atrophyinserted into the vagina and I am having-all the listed bad side effects so I’m wondering what will happen when I decide to do the pellet therapy and take the Progesterone pill? Waiting for a callback from my doctor.

Correction, it was an estrogen pill inserted and not progesterone. Spoke with the doctor. She called in a prescription for DHEA for vaginal atrophy.. Do you know anything about it?

I am more than pleased with either a transdermal estrogen patch , testosterone pellet and progesterone pill or a combined estrogen testosterone pellet with progesterone pill. With either combo I also used vaginal estrogen cream every few days. No negative side effects. But we are all different.

Firstly, I hope your hormones were tested before you started your medicines. I hope you are seeing a specialist who will test your hormones after, say, six months to see how they are being used by your body. Secondly, I’ve been on bio transdermal HRT twice since I went into menopause at 47. I am now 68 my second time I started about a half a year ago in conjunction with my osteoporosis bone medicines. I have an endocrinologist for the bone medicines and a hormone menopause doctor for the HRT. I feel so much better from a balanced regimen of HRT. To the person who said they’re not gonna take the bone medicine cause they’re not gonna die of osteoporosis. It is possible they should know that if your bones aren’t strong enough and you fracture or break them you indeed might die from a broken hip. When you get older, the pain is so excruciating from a fall and your body is so fragile that it is possible they can’t replace your hip because you aren’t strong enough to recover and one dies very quickly. I had two close relatives die from breaking their hips within a couple days at 80 and 90 years of age. When they opened me up for cervical surgery at 67 My bones fell apart in their hands, even though my DEXA scans showed I had strong bones. My surgeon told me the DEXA test are only general and I can have specific areas that are weak. That was all I needed to suffer on the rec class and the TYMLOS! It was a short period of adjustment and I don’t even notice I’m on those medication’s now. If you have a good hormone doctor, it’s gonna take you a little while to get balanced on the hormone medication. It’s not one-size-fits-all even on the compounded formulas. To me feeling as good as I do and having the stamina that I now have mix rubbing the medicines on my arms totally worth it every day I didn’t go for the pallet or the patches because they don’t deliver as well as the transdermal and the progesterone Prometrium gel pill. One also needs to know if they have cancer risks, which I do in my family so there’s particular dosages that are avoided as well as recommended to stay balanced. I also take DIM which is a supplement that “clears“ the hormones. I suppose that make means having them disperse and not build up in my body properly, it is overwhelming to do the research and figure out what’s right, but if you work closely with a qualified a Doctor Who is caring that would probably be best because the research is pretty sophisticated these days.

I didn't know DHEA could be prescribed for vaginal atrophy. I've only seen it as an otc supplement. Is your prescription a pill? Cream? Could you please also tell me what type of doctor prescribed it. Thanks!

Rx Intrarosa (prasterone) is DHEA prescription for vaginal atrophy. It's a vaginal insert and very expensive. DHEA is also available as a vaginal prescription compounding cream. Not all doctors prescribe compounding medications.

"DHEA can be converted into both estrogen and testosterone, which are beneficial for bone health. One would hope that you are benefiting from your DHEA for osteopenia. Have you had your blood levels tested? Not many doctors conduct a sex hormone-binding globulin test, but this will determine how much free testosterone is actually available for your body to use."
