Hi Samantha,
I have come on here because I have just started testosterone (been on estrogen patches + mirena coil for 18 months) and my testosterone levels were low and getting lower according to blood tests I have been having done. Only a week on testosterone and my mood has plummeted! I also have a dragging/bearing down feeling in my vagina which began two days after starting testosterone and is enduring. Those I know who are on testosterone were hailing it as the magic link within their HRT programmes. Perhaps it will take a while to settle but I am tempted to come off it. Back to my doctor in a few weeks but if this low mood continues then I won't endure it and will take myself off it. Fair to say, the low mood, and sudden tiredness do leave me a little irritable but I can understand why so I'm going easy on myself on that front. This is not at all what I was expecting tbh.

I’ve been on testosterone for a while now, and honestly, the first few months were a bit rough for me too. I remember feeling super anxious and irritable, even though my levels were technically fine.
What helped me was chatting with my doctor about tweaking the dosage a bit. Also, I learned that not all testosterone products work the same for everyone. I think that places like Steroids Canada can give you a better idea of what’s out there.
