[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP -

I think you should try HRT, but I also think you should go to a doctor that specializes in it.  When I was having problems a few years ago, my GYN put me on progesterone only BCP and while they worked for a few months, eventually things got even worse.  It was too blunt an instrument.  My current doc specializes in hormones and will give you a specific regimen of maybe progesterone, testosterone and/or estrogen based on your bloodwork and symptoms.  She will start out conservatively and check in every few months.  This is the kind of attention you need.  I think it is worth a try for you - because it might be great and make a big difference in your quality of life.

Good luck, OP!

Who do you see? And is taking the testosterone complicated? My doctor made it sound like it’s a complicated process because there’s no FDA approved testosterone for women, or something.[/quote]

NP, the gyn I saw prescribed a compounded testosterone cream that I use;  make sure you get blood draws monthly til you know how much you need.  At first my testosterone rose 4 times higher than it should be; had to cut back on the amount of cream I use, obviously.  [/quote]
