Testosterone-love it

Before I had my surgery in October, i could have cared LESS about sex. My husband and I had many disagreements over sex. I just didnt care for it. Plus my "o"s were so dissapointing.
3 weeks ago my doctor suggested I try testosterone in a troche form for two weeks to see if It would help.
WHOA!!!! I have more energy, much better orgasms(sorry to be graphic) and more desire. I cannot believe it. I must have been low all these years.
so this is my experience, I would suggest anyone with low libido try it. It worked for me!!!!!

I'm glad you've found something to work for you!!! Hormones are not one size fits all so we may each require something different.

Troche

Dear Seayworld
Sorry to ask such a silly question, but what is troche ? I am unfamiliar with that word, so I'm not sure how you are taking your testosterone.

I`m curious also, as I suffer from no sex drive at all.

A troche is like a little dissolvable pill you put between your cheek and gum it takes about 30 min to dissolve. They come in all kinds of flavors too. You could get testosterone in gel, cream, pill, or troche form. My doctor just prefers troche. I am not kidding about this, it has really worked for me!

Seayworld: How long have you been taking the testosterone? How long did it take before you noticed a difference? Any adverse side effects, etc.? I think I'm headed for the testosterone route also. My doctor has been trying several different things but nothing has seemed to work so far. I'm sure this is the next step for me. Thanks!

It's great that you have found something to help! Thanks for letting us know about your success!

For anyone wondering, testosterone can have side effects. You can find out what they are on this link to the symptom list of too much/too little estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
