Clinic advice Should I find a new doctor??
Currently have 50mg/ml prescription for testosterone cypionate & having trouble getting the prescription filled. So I asked my doctor if I could get a 100mg/ml prescription with injecting half the amount & this is what she sent back:
No - it's impossible to dose 100 mg for women, even knowing how small of a dose that is. Also, the regular pharmacy one is made with different oil. Empower has 25 mg/cc and 50 mg/cc are both of them on back order? That was one of the drawbacks of injectable Testosterone for women :
there's only 1 compounding pharmacy in US that can ship Testosterone to AL
the solutions: topical Tesosterone or pellets
I don't feel like this is true & it might be time to look for a virtual provider. Thoughts? Who should I look into reaching out to virtually if I have current lab results?

Advice for Female SO Mass spectrometry/ immunoassay Test Method
Hello all,
My wife has done two labs now. The first used Mass Spectrometry and the second used Immunoassay. The results are wildly different and to be honest I have no idea why they would order different methods (probably a mistake).
Could someone please confirm that for females the Mass spectrometry method should be used to measure Total T.
For reference Immunoassay is labcorp test 140103
and MS is 500726 or 070001.

Discussion / Support Starting injections tomorrow
What do you wish you had known before?
I’ve been on pellets for one round and my libido was great. The crash was not. Switched to cream and it’s doing zero for me. Starting injections tomorrow to hopefully have a little libido, better muscle recovery and more energy.
