Testosterone Pellets. Anyone on them? Desperate for some answers!
I am 14yrs post ER/PR stage one. My doc says I'm low on testosterone, and that is the reason for all my symptoms in menopause. He suggested the pellet and feels it is safe but I am so scared to try it! No Dr I've reached out to has said either way, just "no data to help us'. Hoping some people hear have had good guidance, or thoughts for those who are on it? Help!
Thanks!!

Cynpike - glad to find your post. I met with my dr today and will start with the testosterone pellet in December. It sounds very promising! My oncologist referred me to this dr. Did you end up trying it. I know manu are nervous, but there is great research that supports this!

I tried pellets pre breast cancer. Some pros but more cons so I stopped them. I was about to try testosterone cream instead but had to hold off. Pros- more energy and just overall felt better. Cons- the cycling, I felt good for a couple of weeks then got too high and felt anxious and irritable then dropped to too low again. I was hoping the cream would be a more steady state. Also, a big con was the expense.
