You may get more practical, experience-based information outside of the Mayo Clinic forum. Testosterone injections are actually very popular among menopausal women. Many report they’re less expensive than other forms, provide more consistent levels, and may cause fewer DHT-related side effects (like hair loss or acne) for some women.

Because it’s hard to find doctors who prescribe testosterone injections to women (outside of pellet clinics), many women rely on online providers and peer forums for guidance. The fact that your doctor is open to injections is fairly unique.

You’ll likely find better support in women-focused TRT communities, such as the private Facebook group Wake Her Up (search “testosterone injections” once inside), Reddit’s r/TRTFemales, or searching testosterone posts in r/Menopause.
