14 reports from women who tried Testosterone Cream
Tried Testosterone Cream on the recommendation of GP. The first few weeks were a bit rough with side effects, but by week 8 I was sleeping through the night. Best decision I made for my health.
Testosterone Cream has been surprisingly effective for my tearfulness and overwhelm. I noticed I slept better for the first time in months fairly quickly. my energy levels were back to normal over the following weeks. I'm glad I tried it.
After reading about other women's experiences with Testosterone Cream, I decided to try it for my anxiety that came out of nowhere. there was a noticeable difference within the first month. the improvement was really noticeable by 8 weeks. I wish I'd started sooner.
My GP suggested Testosterone Cream for my joint pain and stiffness. It took about 3 weeks to notice anything, but by week 10 the improvement was really noticeable. I'd recommend discussing it with your GP.
I gave Testosterone Cream a fair trial for my mood changes and anxiety. Some improvement in energy improved but the weight didn't shift persisted. Might try something different.
