Hormone Replacement Therapy

For years I have been putting off researching more about hormone replacement therapy, even though I felt as though I needed to. 

When a couple different doctors noted that I should not be on the manufactured estrogen I was taking, I finally made the jump. I met Allison Galloway after doing a hormone bloodwork panel. Turned out most of my levels were okay. Except my testosterone level. My level was almost nonexistent. My level was 5 on the low end of the spectrum that started at 3. 

So, I chose to have a pellet inserted in my butt that would give a slow release of testosterone over the next three to four months. That part didn’t feel so good at all. I felt pretty crappy for the first couple of days. 
Over the past month I am hoping for hot flashes to lessen and waiting to see what other changes might occur.
