Tried

Testosterone Cream

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.

Tried

Testosterone Cream

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.

I was sceptical about Testosterone Cream but desperate with my hot flashes and night sweats. things started to shift slightly. By week 12, I could function normally again. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.

Tried

Estradiol Patches Utrogestan (micronised progesterone)Testosterone Cream

The Levels guide to HRT in 2026 was the most comprehensive overview I found. It covered the three pillars — estradiol for vasomotor and cognitive symptoms, progesterone for endometrial protection and sleep, testosterone for energy and libido. My menopause specialist built exactly this protocol for me. Six months in and I genuinely feel better than I have in years. The combination addresses different symptom clusters simultaneously.

Tried

Estradiol Patches Utrogestan (micronised progesterone)Testosterone Cream

After hearing Dr Rubin's episode on testosterone in women I finally understood why estrogen alone wasn't enough for me. Added testosterone cream to my existing HRT regimen and within 2 months my energy, motivation, and libido had all noticeably improved. Dr Rubin made the point that testosterone isn't just about sex drive — it's about vitality, muscle, and brain function. That matches my experience exactly.

Tried

Testosterone Cream

My GP was reluctant to prescribe testosterone but I pushed for it after reading about it here and on the BMS website. Within about 6 weeks I noticed a real difference in my energy levels and libido — both had been non-existent for over a year. The acne was annoying at first but settled down. I do get the odd chin hair now but honestly I'll take that trade any day.
