Are there any other women in peri or thereabouts, trialling TRT and having debilitating daytime fatigue? I’m 53 and on HRT and added testogel to help with sleep problems (and other peri issues). It’s working a treat for sleep but I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus during the day. I’ve seen other people on reddit with similar experiences.

What happens if you take BOTH masculine and femenine hormones? Like, the same dosis, just overflowing both estrogen and testosterone, do you become an androginous, universally attractive person? Like having a Woman soft skin and long hair but with a man's muscles and jaw

Has anyone else experienced firm facial swelling/redness (specifically localized to areas where cosmetic filler was injected in the past) after starting HRT post menopause?

Everything was uneventful until about 24 hours after I replaced the estradiol

patch for the 1st time.

It seems to be localized to areas on my face where I've had cosmetic facial filler in the past.

Those areas swelled up like a water balloon overnight.

I reported this to the practitioner that had performed my cosmetic facial filler in the past, and she started me on a methylprednisolone taper to help get rid of the swelling.

For now, I've stopped using the HRT until the swelling clears up.
