  I have been treated (poorly early on -- with bad psych drugs which I’m now off) for anxiety and trauma, which did exist, but after some years of great therapy that I began in 2020, the nightmares, hypervigilance, and panic have stopped. &nbsp;I’m mentally balanced and mostly at peace -- but still have issues that I now believe are related to hormonal imbalances created by an oophorectomy at age 23. &nbsp;I’m slowly reintroducing the hormones that my body has lacked for decades, and am both sleeping and feeling better, but testosterone is the last one to add. &nbsp;I’m a little nervous about it, but determined to know myself as I might have been had I kept my natural hormones during young and middle adulthood. &nbsp;Thank you so much for helping me to understand all this -- it’s been invaluable!

  There’s a lot of talk around T and hair loss. Although a very personal journey, hair loss is only associated with larger doses of T than the usual pea sized amount. I was on HRT for a couple of years before deciding to introduce T. Within weeks my hair growth significantly increased. A lot of dormant hair follicles especially on my head, fired up again. I now have more hair than I can ever remember. My HRT doctor couldn’t explain why this was happening but it’s the only change I made at that time in my life. Also for what it’s worth, I didn’t get excessive hair growth in the place I put T.

  I’m so frustrated that in the UK that “normal” women’s levels are from 0.0!! So what on earth is low?

  I am so fortunate to have a NP who prescribes Androfeme! I have PCOS but I can feel the effects of additional testosterone slowly increasing my motivation to move. it is incredible! My husband nearly has his happy wife back. I am ecstatic for both of us!
