At long last I finally got some help with getting my hormone levels back up. I’ve been taking estradiol and progesterone for a couple of weeks and feel better than I have in over a decade. I just got my testosterone cream scrip today, the concentration is 2 mg/ml, and the daily dose is 0.5 ml/daily (1 mg testosterone). I can’t find much online about doses, does that seem low to y’all?
My testosterone measured <3, free testosterone 0.3 pg/mL. I have a very physical job and used to love lifting weights, I’m very anxious to get some strength and energy back!
It’s not a bad thing to start with 1mg/day - 7mg/week is within the range of normal starting doses. I started at 2mg/day of the transdermal gel and it worked well and I’m now at 2.5mg/day, but it’s been 2 years of creeping upwards.
