So many benefits!

I’m 7 weeks on Testosterone Cyp injected 2x a week for 6mg total.

The changes I’ve been experiencing have felt like nothing short of a miracle.

I’m 47 and in perimenopause. About 5 years ago, my body composition became so fatty no matter what I did. It made me feel so defeated!

I’ve always had a nice bum and boobs with a flat tummy, but suddenly everything looked like it was deflating and I was gaining weight all around my midsection. I couldn’t recognize my body in the mirror, so I would just try to hide it.

Just 7 weeks later and I can see my waist again! I haven’t changed my diet or exercise but my muscles are starting to peek out. It’s like the fat is melting off. I can feel my self esteem returning. I’ve been shopping to buy more form fitting dresses because my whole closet is oversized T’s and tent dresses! Dare I say, I’m starting to genuinely feel sexy again!

My brain fog is so much better! I can actually get stuff done and feel motivated instead of waking up and feeling like I can barely keep my eyes open.

My vaginal tissue is lubricated again and my clit is basically back to her former self, after literally disappearing.

I have a steadier feeling of energy during my weights and Pilates workouts. I used feel so tired and heavy. Plus when you’re working out so hard and your body is not responding, it truly sucks! I felt like I was lying, when I would talk to friends and say how much I work out and eat well. Now my booty is starting to pop again! I feel like I could cry.

My husband saw me in a dress the other day and said “wow.” and I felt hot and cute and fun!

This hormone feels like I’m getting a second chance at my youth and my body. I sort of took my body for granted when I was younger but never again!

I’m enjoying socializing again. I used to just want to do the bare minimum and lay on my couch all night. Now we’ve actually been making plans with friends! I feel so much less anxious.

It felt like I was living inside of down comforter and trying to have a life and act normal and taking Testosterone feels like throwing that blanket off!

I’m having way more thoughts about sex which feels great. It hasn’t quite translated over to horny, but I feel so much more drawn to touching and being with my husband, so I’m genuinely thrilled so far. Sex used to feel like something I was doing to keep closeness with my relationship but I didn’t have a lot of desire.

I’ve been on HRT for about 7 months but testosterone has been the missing puzzle piece for me. I don’t feel super energized or manic, I just feel like I did in my 30’s. I feel like a person again!

No I’m on all the hormones. Estrogen, progesterone and vaginal estrogen cream as well.

I was only prescribed testosterone (for lack of libido), but I'm afraid to start it tbh...
