[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she ever had her hormone levels checked? A lot of women have low testosterone and don't even know it.  I should know-- I seriously thought I was frigid or had something seriously wrong with me until I demanded blood work.  20 mg of testosterone every week has changed my life and sex life dramatically.

How do you get your testosterone? Gel, cream, pill?
Any doctor recs? I asked my GYN and she said they don't prescribe that 'here',
that I'd have to go to an 'alternative doctor'.

If I had a scrip name though she'd probably go for it.

I still have a healthy sex drive but as menopause is lurking the idea of losing the drive really freaks me out - I love intimacy with my husband [/quote]

PP here.  I take it via injection, which took a lot of convincing on my part (most docs will push for the gel, but it doesn't work as well).  Where are you located?  
A lot of ob-gyns are shockingly ignorant about this issue; WaPo did an article about it awhile back and the level of responses it got suggests that plenty of women struggle with this and are not being taken seriously, which is a shame.
If your ob-gyn won't prescribe it, there are TONS of docs in the DMV who are more than happy to deal with TRT issues--most have male clients as their bread & butter, but they know what's up with women, too.  You'll probably be paying out of pocket for the visit, but insurance should cover blood work and any prescriptions.  [/quote]
