Periodically it's important to revisit the topic of testosterone replacement for women, and to understand all the nuances regarding the options in delivery methods and dosing. Today I'll discuss options for testosterone replacement, including using 1/10 of an FDA approved male product, compounded creams and gels,  as well as appropriately dosed hormone pellets. I'll particularly focus on how to safely dose hormone pellets,  and will share the method which my office has used  in many thousands of patients, and has been proven to reach safe levels. Appropriately dosed pellets should  be thought of as a viable option for those who don't prefer to use a topical cream or gel.

Mentally I have felt fine, no mood swings and in terms of hot flushes, I always run so hot, so there has been no change there so far!
