Insurance NEEDS to cover this!!
The will not since it is not FDA Approved and companies will not obtain any profit from it... so, we will still paying to find a hope and remedy .
@@estelarivera525 insurance co. do pay for mens pellets...yes they do....how unfair
@@la-chicagitana9949 I know a few guys on these pellets and insurance did not cover. Haven’t met any that got it covered.
Right??? They cover the vaccine!!!
They never will because it’s too natural & big pharma can’t get filthy rich off of it.
Been getting the pellet for 5 year & I can’t function without it!
The worse thing about the pellet is the beard 🤣but there is a medication they can prescribe to tame the hair growth in place you don’t expect.
You did a great job explaining this.
I have been doing for 13 years now!
I am 65.
Feel like 45!
I do share with some but have to say… afraid to share with too many due to the fact that I do not want to make my appointments harder to get into!! Glad you made this for your generation!
Please share, because my gynecologist just told me that he is not an expert when it comes to Bhrt, thank you you will be great help
I love the pellets too. Worth every penny.
From a male’s perspective, thank you. This has been great information for me as my girlfriend is on the pellet. Your information allows me to operate from an intellectual frame of reference as opposed to reacting emotionally. Ed
This video was such a huge help for me! I just got the pellet inserted last week and I’m already feeling like a different person! Wow! My regular OBGYN Dr. said I needed Prozac.. Unbelievable! I can’t imagine how many women out there are on SSRIs when really they need their hormones balanced. Thanks so much for spreading this information!
So funny u said that. I'm on prozac and have been diagnosed with pcos. I'm going bbn to get a consultation for bhrt!
Yep.
Same here 🙋🏻♀️been there was on Prozac myself .. I soo miss my sex drive I would try anything to help get it back to who I was before baby ..;(
Me !! My doctor has me on antidepressants and I hate it!!!!
Pallets have changed my life. I'm almost ready for my third round. And I'm just starting to get the true benefits in a way I never imagined. Life is good 😊
Thank you for your candid videos...I just had mine done...WHAT A LIFE GAME CHANGER! I never thought I'd feel youthful again...I'm 51 and feel great! I sooo recommend it! Insurance does not cover the cost but we truly cant put a dollar amt to our health! Thank you again!
How much did you get? I think it starts at 137mg. I get mine soon I’m very nervous.
@@cindywhittaker3003 hi Cindy, did you end up having it done, I’m about to start, any information will be so appreciated 🍀
Allison and Ladies, I have reached my 3mo mark, time to call the Dr for my 2nd round. I still free great with loads of energy, workouts going great! I know our bodies must adjust as my only 2 cons was bloating and a tad of gain weight however my Dr warned me and stated it would level out which it has but towards 60days into. Im so happy I tried this therapy as it makes me feel like my 20s again, mind clarity, sex drive back, sleeping well, and able to just keep up with life. Remember our hormones protect our organs from disease into our golden years. Love it!
Hello there !!
Are you still doing the therapy ??
I’m on my third round and feel great but it’s been a challenge to get rid of the lbs gained (6), and I’m constantly monitoring what I eat and also started to workout daily .. my doctor told me to take DIM plus vitamin A,D,K daily which I started after round 2.
How’s going for you ??
Mafer Gonzales I started taking yet DIM too and I love the pellets. My muscle tone is amazing and I needed to gain weight. Gained 5 lbs of muscle and I needed it. My skin on my neck looks firmer and tighter.
Does it help with brain fogginess & anxiety due to my hormone imbalance & if so how long did it take to start to feel relief… This is my 3rd week and I’m still struggling with some brain fog… ( but overall I feel good:)
I'm 60 yrs old and decided to try. It's being inserted on Monday...I'm a little scared.lol. I just really hope this works for me, the way it has for some of yall
Hi Alison,
I love your summary of your experience with BHRT testosterone. I just got T-pellets for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It has been difficult to find many reviews and testimonials from women who are premenopausal, so I was very happy to find your video review here. Thanks for the info!
How's it going so far Lauren? It takes about two weeks to start noticing a difference. I can't live without my pellet now!
Alison Lumbatis Sorry for the delay in replying, somehow missed your comment. However, now that it has been 4 mos, I must say I am definitely ready for my next pellet insertion. Worth every penny! I haven’t had any negative side effects yet, but I have heard the hair growth and other side effects may not occur until after a few times. Did you find that was the case for you?
Lauren Segal how are you doing on the pellets? Please update!
Mahalos for sharing Alison.
My wife had the procedure done today. She’s 64. Going through this together.
How is she doing with the therapy? I am 60 and seriously considering it.
How is your wife doing?
I am African American and I actually was on TH-cam looking for someone that was of the same colour going through this. But then I came across your video. I'm glad I clicked it. Because everything you said I'm going through. My husband feels rejected as well but my body feels so old and tired, with no energy. Plus my bones hurt. ☹️
I know it's a part of aging, but my daughter is 29 and I just want to feel better about life. I still look nice as far as looks , but at this point I need to get my body back up and regulated. Thanks so much for your information. I am going to look into this company. Thank you!
Unfortunately alot of African Americans suffer in silence. They don't talk... its frustrating... blessings to you.
I'm African American, 48 & peri-menopausal. I'm doing the pellets. I'm happy, my husband is Very happy. Anxiety and depression gone. No more hot flashes or night sweats. No more crippling fatigue. I promise you they will give you your life back! Do it!
Sherrie Palmer Hi Sherrie!!Have you considered making a video about your experience with the pellets? I would love to know more.
@@catrinagriffin6141 I'm getting my second injection today. I'll make a video when I return.
Michelle's Moments Thanks Michelle!
Thank you for this video. 7+ years ago at age 25 I had to have a complete hysterectomy and was unable to do hormone therapy and now I am having bad health issues due to no hormones. I get my first insertion on the 10th. This video is very helpful because I know no one who has ever had this done.
Hello Everyone- if you are even considering this- just do it please!
You will be so happy that you did.
I live in the Austin Texas area and I went to Pride Clinic in Cedar Park, Texas.
They are so amazing.
Please, go- especially if you are feeling the effects of drying up like an old prune.
You do not need to feel this way.
BHRT will change your life.
Best wishes to each one of you❤
I'm50 suffering menopausal but I'm scared taking bhrt, please advise 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This was so helpful! I just got back from my OB’s appointment. I went in already suspecting hormonal imbalance as my husband went through low T a couple of years ago and the treatment quite literally changed his life in almost every area, so he is convinced my symptoms (low drive, irritability, lack of interest and motivation in my hobbies, signs of depression, and lately irregular periods) are the result of it as well. I got my bloodwork done and waiting for results. My dr also uses BIOTE, so your video was very encouraging. Hoping to get answers and treatment soon. Thank you.
OMG I am so glad I found this channel, I scored a zero also, my husband is taking it personally, all this just happened in the year , I'm almost 60, I just got mine and praying for results.
Beth, how did the pellets work out for you?
Howd it go? How are you?
So glad I found your video. I am 32 and was diagnosed with POI/POF when I was 27. After many many doctors, I found one that specializes in bio identical hormone replacement therapy. I am currently on an estrogen patch and a progesterone pill. My doctor told me yesterday that my testosterone is really low and wants to do the pellets. I’m a bit scared and worried about it, especially the price, but I just want to feel normal again.
This is me and my husband to a tee!! We've had arguments over sex now, and my doctor recommended this, but I've been so scared if this would even work.. if it was a scam.. I mean, we have tried everything that you can think of in order to improve our sex life, yet nothing has worked! Thank you for making this video, as I've been trying to hear someone say if it helped in the bedroom area or not. Your the first person to say anything about your sex life! Which is what I really really needed to know before I let someone insert something in my body! Thank you again! More people need to see this!
Got mine in today and this video is SO helpful! Thanks so much! Hoping it’ll help with my muscle and joint pains. I’m only 45 and feel 85! Thanks again!
Update?
Yes update please?
Why do people not update their results! Very annoying!
Did they help?
Yes! it help with my muscle and aches with in days!!!! But still dealing with some brain fog
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m 51 years old and in full-blown menopause (it’s been about a year and a half since I’ve had a period). My libido isn’t an issue at all. I’ve always had a pretty healthy sex drive. And I’ve had those “man hairs” that I’ve had to pluck from my chin since I was in my 30’s. But I feel both physically & mentally horrible 90% of the time. I have NO energy. And I mean NONE. I’ve gained a ton of weight in my mid-section & no matter what I do, I can’t lose the weight. I’m depressed and I have horrible anxiety. Those are the most aggravating symptoms. Then there are other symptoms that are not quite as aggravating like insomnia, night sweats, irritability, brain fog, inability to focus or concentrate on anything, etc. but they’re still a pain. I feel like my testosterone levels are probably good, but based on the weight gain alone, I’m thinking my estrogen levels are probably pretty low to non-existent. I have a couple of high school friends that have had a lot of success with Biote and they highly recommend it, but I’m concerned about safety and side effects. I’ve done some online research, but I’m wondering if any ladies who have experience with Biote can provide a little more insight? I have a thyroid disorder called Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, and I take Synthroid to replace the thyroxin that my thyroid gland doesn’t produce, and I also have Crohn’s Disease. Both are auto-immune disorders. So I’m not sure if I would even be a good candidate for BHRT, and more specifically, Biote.
How's it going? Did you try anything? I too have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I also have late stage Lyme disease and CIRS (Chronic inflammatory response Syndrome). Its so hard living with these debilitating things; but I have been taking BHRT for years though. I'm 62 and I'm afraid to stop taking it. I don't want to feel worse! I take troche form (dissolves in my mouth).
Eating a Proper Human Diet ( very low carb, if any/high fat/moderate protein) has helped many many people with hashimoto's and thyroid issues. Check out Dr Ken Berry, he has a ton of videos on TH-cam
I just turned 30 and I began to notice changes in me, well in fact my symptoms started at 29 😭 Loss of energy, mood changes 🤭 hot flashes and soduration, so much so that all of this was already affecting my personal life. I was very confused my lov ones have also noticed my changes, so I researched and found this treatment. I start this week I am anxious I want to feel like the person I was again. Thanks for this video, it helps me calm my anxiety and know that this treatment is helping other women. ❤️
hi I hope you are doing better but I read what you said and is like I am reading my own story I think that I have to find a dr. who use biomedical hormones
Do you have an update for us Kim? I’m 35 and have PCOS and I’m starting treatment soon.
Thank you so much for a short video that was straight to the point. Finally. I've searched all over and this was just what I needed. Thank you 😊 13:42
MAN!! I cannot tell you how helpful this video is to me right now!!! Thank you so much!!!
Such a great video!! I can’t believe I’m just finding this! I needed this 5 years ago 😊 so glad you were brave and shared! Best video ever!
I was having a ton of muscle pain throughout my body along with joint pain and no drive as well. I couldnt sleep due to all the pain and as an avid workout person, I got to the point where I couldnt get through a 30 min workout and definitely couldnt do workouts every day. Found out I have very very very low T and I just started the BioT pellets 7 days ago. I cannot wait for the full effect. So far the pains have subsided! Go HRT!!
You sound almost like me. I just saw a dr today for hrt. I am an avid workout person but I’m having a lot of unexplained pain, fatigue, etc. I hope it works for you and me!
Melinda Norman I have felt so much better since starting BioT however I made a huge mistake by getting on birth control, way too much estrogen and I went back to square one. I stopped the birth control 4 weeks ago and I’m just now starting to feel a little better but not 100%😕 so beware of any birth control.
I am getting my pellet tomorrow and have been worried. For every 10 awesome experience, there is one god awful one. But this video was found at a perfect time. I will watch your follow up! Thanks for your honest review.
How are you! I get mine tomorrow I’m so nervous!
How did it go? I'm nervous. My appointment is this week.
I switched to injections as the pellet gave me only a short window of feeling good. Too much of a curve. Injections have me feeling like my old self.
Thank you for sharing! I just started BRHT almost 2 weeks ago! So excited to see if this helps me!! I received both estradiol and testosterone.
How are you doing ?
Thank you.. Not enough information out there from people who have actually done this and are pre menopause..I have been doing my research...
Thanks Whitney! I'm planning to do another video on my experience soon. I'm still loving it after three years!
Found your channel through this video. I just love your energy and positive attitude! I’m one week post biote and I’m so thankful to hear about your experience. Cheers to good health!
Thanks for your sweet comment Sarah! I'd love to hear how it's going for you.
Your revolution is over. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me?
@@mattmiles9779 you post this garbage on several trt videos and it make zero sense. Go away!
Hi Alison.
I’m from the Uk and yesterday I saw my gynaecologist and he’s finally mentioned these pellets. I’d never even heard of them until yesterday. But after watching this I’m so much more hopeful that I can sort myself out.
I had a hysterectomy at 36 and found I had uterine cancer so had to have my ovaries removed. The menopause has been absolutely horrendous. I feel like 90 years old and everything hurts. The hrt itself hasn’t made much of a difference I don’t think but the drive you’re talking about is totally lacking and it’s affecting my marriage. I just have zero interest. Like nothing, it’s a really problem.
Today I had the blood tests to find out my levels so I pray they do try these pellets.
Life sure is a struggle at the moment.
Really enjoyed your video. Everything you described sounds like myself.
Fingers and toes crossed I get the results you have.
Ps chin hairs!! 😂 yes I already have them. I’m guessing I may get more then haha.
Claire 💕
Does NHS cover pellets in UK?
I am so appreciative of your openness. It has helped me immensely.
Great video. This is very important especially for our veterans, athletes and car accident survivors with hypogonaisim from Traumatic Brain Injury. You dont have to suffer, get treatment. And tell the veterans and car accident survivors in your life.
You’re absolutely right. I’m a woman in my 40’s who had a car accident with a bad TBI. I went to dozens of doctors with different specializations and tons of therapy but never felt like my old, high-functioning, motivated, driven and successful self again. I became a zombie. I stumbled upon dr. Gordon’s work with Veterans and learned how hormonal treatment helped them recover from the symptoms of TBI and PTSD. I brought this up to top doctors I was seeing at Stanford and they dismissed the idea… but it was the only thing that really made a difference for me other the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (which they also dismissed). I bet there’s no money exchange involved in these therapies.
Thank you so much I am researching this pellets vs patches and pills I’m 63 and sooooo tired so looking for some help you look wonderful this help me a lot ❤️
I am 62 and just left the doctors office for my bloodwork I am scheduled to go back in two weeks for the implant of my pellets. Did you decide to do the pellets?
I have been thinking about this process and really appreciate your opening up and sharing this with us.
I am so hopeful. Thank you for your videos. I just saw a dr today who does it. Getting bloodwork tomorrow and pellets in a few weeks. I have unexplained pain, fatigue, trouble losing weight even though I’m really active, zero sex drive (but I’ve never had any), trouble sleeping, etc. I’m just so tired of living like this so I’ve been actively looking and pushing my drs for answers like you say.
Melinda, how did the pellets work out for you?
Thank you for sharing!!!! I had my blood panel done a few weeks ago. Praying all goes well. Your video has helped a lot. I have less anxiety about all of this!!!
How did it go? I'm nervous. My appointment is this week.
Thank you so much for this video! You explained way more than any other video I've watched about this topic! I am also struggling with low libido.
Great testimonal. I provide pellet therapy and need to get one of my patients to give a talk like this. Coming from someone who receives pellets as opposed to just a provider is very helpful. Thanks for being so open and honest.
I just got my first round. Since you work with so many people that have received pellets, could you tell me if scar tissue ever becomes an issue?
Sold! Found a provider and I'm doing it. I did a consult with my OBGYN and she first wanted to prescribe antidepressants. Then we tried BC pills and T-cream. All gave me headaches. I was looking into pellets with Covid happened. It all got pushed aside. Now after seeing this, I'm ready to approach again!
How did it go? I'm nervous. My appointment is this week.
Thank you for sharing! I had my first one inserted yesterday and I'm looking forward to feeling normal again!
Hi Michelle! Let me know how it goes for you. It takes about two weeks to feel the effects.
Thanks for this. Im a newbie to peri Menopause and just started BIHT. Very overwhelming but im soldiering on. I feel like i will never lose weight. Going into my third week and doing pills and cream. Ill stay tuned!
Great. Yes. I am going to continue thank you for your support
Thank you so much for sharing your experience along with pricing. I NEED this in my life and already have a consultation set up 🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing this video. I had my first pellet 3 months ago here in NC. I noticed all the same improvements! I haven't noticed any bad side effects, maybe some breakouts.
Where in NC?
Omg!!! I needed this so bad right now in my life!!! I'm in these shoes, yeah 0 on the quiz, and mom of 2, a 4yr old, and 5 yrs old, I have to get help, xo
Insist on the bloodwork.
I hope you can find a dr. near you that does this therapy! You can search providers on Biote's web site. Big hugs to you!
This was incredibly helpful. I start my pellets on Monday. My doctor is giving me a prescription for the hair growth and acne so hopefully those won’t be a problem for me. Your review really helped quell my fears. Thank you so much!
What did you doctor prescribe and how did it all work out for you?
@@donnawoodward3163 Most women also take spironolactone when on BHRT to mitigate the side effects. It helps with acne, hair loss and water weight gain.
Are you still on them?
Please give us an update. Thanks!
I just had this done on July 24.
Absolutely no pain.
I am so very excited about seeing these amazing results.
I can not believe that I am feeling less pain from my Fibromyalgia and Osteoporosis.
I mean- it is very subtle- but then- very noticeable.
I cannot wait for all of the positive results from this.
I am very positive.
So, I am ready to feel like a nee woman.
Oh, by the way- I am 69 and will be 70 on Christmas Day
I am looking forward to feeling so amazing very soon
I meant to say June 24
The effects wore off super quickly. I also felt disconnected from my desire (ehem) and my facial hair was out of control, acne too, all of which I really did not like. I went back to the cream.
Thank you soo much! I’ve been afraid to do it when my doctor stated doing many years ago, bc I had breast cancer. It has been 13 years and I decided now to do bc I have osteopenia. Going tomorrow to blood work. So happy that I decided! Thanks for sharing your experience!🙏
Did you do it? How did it go?
@@fluffyrambochiqui1836 no I never did, bc I kept reading what hormones if is not well balanced can even cause mood changes, endocrine problem etc…so I backed out! I am doing pretty good, it was just a phase, but I will check my bones to see where I am at. I believe the key to strength your bones is exercise with some weight to build up muscle and avoid bone loss.
Very helpful. I want to really enjoy my future and you shared a lot information. Incredibly thorough. I learned so much about something I had never heard of from searching youtube “low libido women”. Thank you. I think I will get a hormone scan. 🙏🏾. Im so grateful
Thank you for this. There needs to be more awareness. I’m turning 40 next year and super low libido. And 3 kids full time work full time mom. And intake the back burner.
I have a wonderful doctor who is a functional dr. I just had it done
Yesterday and looking forward to my mood changing.
I’m also just on testosterone.
Yea super unfair!!!! Insurance does not cover it!! It will cover men. You can advocate for yourself if you have a PPO insurance tell them and proof with medical records and you might be able to get a prior authorization!!
Try it I’m on it!
How did it go? I'm nervous. My appointment is this week.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This has been a tremendous help with my own journey!
Have you had any hair loss?? This video is the best one ive found and super informative.!! Im about to start testosterone myself and the hair loss is one thing im concerned about.
Thanks Jessica! I did have some initially but have started taking a low dose (5 mg) of DHEA and it's helping a lot! It also helps with unwanted hair, like on my chin. :)
That's good, benefits outweighing the side effects, I'm 44 years old now too, but all summer long has been crazy, ups and downs, I mean, yeah, I need to get help, appreciate you, and you are gorgeous! XO
Aw thank you! I hope you get to feel better soon.
Thank you for the detail information 🙏 I’m seriously considering this option and I’m almost 62 yrs old.
T M, did you go ahead with it?
You should follow/check out Jay Campbell. He's done the research on why pellets are really bad. He advises testosterone cream (versabase). Absorbs in a controlled way. W/pellets, you have no idea (or control) of the actual rate of metabolization. Try the cream.
It’s a nightmare foe me right now because I’m on the pellet and my T is 250. It’s supposed to be 60. I have anxiety and chest pains. Not a pleasant ride! They can’t properly regulate the pellet at all. It’s crazy it’s allowed. I am going to urgent care tomorrow.
@@jodielee2310 how are you now
There are pharma pills that are bio identical, not just pellets.
Thank you for sharing I just had it done on Wednesday. I will share my experience as well. ❤❤❤❤❤ I agree I was super afraid, but it was really nothing. It was easy Peezy lemon squeezy’s.
Thanks for sharing, about to get them and make me feel happy knowing about your results
I found out about Bio Te from my mother in law and am going for my first visit today. (I am going to a doctor other then my regular one) I am very nervous about it. I have the same symptoms you described as to 0 interest. My regular doctor prescribed Premerin, but I didn't fill script because of all the side effects and I didn't like the idea of "one size fits all" prescription. No blood work to see just what I needed as far as hormone replacement. The only blood work done was regular panel for general health and thyroid. I am anxious to get back to "normal" and get some more energy and "drive." I appreciate your video explaining everything and although nervous about the procedure I am looking forward to it. Thank you!
I’m only 4 minutes in and every single thing you say is exactly what is happening with me- from the dr saying it is just how it is to the issues a lack of a drive cause.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with BHRT! This was very informative and helpful. Best to you! ;-)
Yes! Difficulty building muscle! That’s me.
I just received mine today! My level is 3.
HRT keeps people healthy. If people stay healthy they are less prone to other diseases. Wish insurance would cover. Best way is through HSA or FSA.
Update on my pellet is that my T is 250. Way too high. I’m having chest pains and anxiety. Not a fun ride! The pellets do not deliver a regular amount each day! That’s what I thought right but no! They give you a huge dose to last the whole 3 months. And it slowly tapers down. The reason you start growing hair is that it’s way too high. That’s dangerous on the heart and blood pressure. I was a big advocate for this but I’m really not doing well right now and I’m stuck like this for months!!!!!!
I’m so sorry to hear this! Hope you are feeling a better now!
What?? That's a man's level. Woman aren't supposed to go higher than 70.
Yeh by the way… 💜your expression of this..! I got one and for many years depression and anxiety so bad I have been really non functional.. I know I shouldn’t really rely on it.. but after getting one I lost the terror in my chest mostly and I’ve been running again and feel great.! But must admit I had no sex drive and now… it’s kind of too much ? Not used to
I get the Biote also. It’s been about 6 months. I have the same side effects and benefits.
Hi Susie...I was recommended by my gyno to take Biote hormone therapy. Is it very expensive ?
She really didn't mention anything about the price since I told her I would like to do some research on it. Any inputs you have I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Love your video. Thank you. You answered a lot of concerns that I had.
Such a great video full of information and table talk. Thank you friend.
Thank you so much! My BIOTE provider did not even explain it this well
you are so cute. I enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I am currently waiting on my blood work back
Hi Mackenzie! Thank you so much. Did you end up going with a pellet?
Brilliant video and thanks for sharing your story.
I had exactly the same symptoms as you when I started doing the pallet therapy
How did it go? I'm nervous. My appointment is this week.
love your video, very informative...thank You! side effects min 9:55
Thank you for talking about this! I just got my bloodwork done yesterday and it’s like you were speaking my heart- down to the feeling weird about the actual pellet. I’m hoping this is what I need! Did this help with any anxiety or brain fog ? I’ve noticed the last while I’ve been feeling depressed or possibly anxious and was hoping this was related. Thanks again for your video!
How are you feeling with the therapy? Did it work for you? I feel anxious too and I’m postmenopausal and I’m seriously considering it got my blood work done a couple weeks ago I’d like to hear from you and your outcome on these pallets. Thank you 🙏🏽
@@mariamunguia8863 Progesterone a.k.a. Prometrium capsules 100 mg can help reduce the anxiety. Only take a bedtime. Usually brain fog improves with getting estrogen. Sometimes Testosterone will help because some of it converts to a Estrogen. Hope that helps.
I'm thinking of doing this also. What were your testosterone numbers from start to finish?
Can everyone on testosterone post what strength they are getting, just curious.
My dr started me on .25 cream on wrist and has moved me to .50..not alot of difference..how much do you take? I think this is a micro dose?
Since you have been doing this long term, can you share what your experience has been regarding any scarring from the repeated incisions? Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much for this video Allison. I recently tested with low testosterone and had your same exact symptoms. I feel so much better about the pellets now. My doctor gave me the choice between the cream or pellets but I definitely think I’m going to do the pellets. Only question, do you think it makes you jittery? I suffer from anxiety (non medicated) so I was just concerned that it would make me anxious. Thanks again!!
Hi Alison, I found your channel by researching information about this treatment. I dont have kids but my test levels are super low. I went to 4 different doctors and none of then could give me an answer, they all said I was fine but I knew I wasnt because all the symptoms were still there a s getting worse. I finally found an female urologist who recommended this treatment. I start next week but I am curious to know how long I need to be on it? Thank you!
Hi there! I've been on it for four years now without any adverse effects. If you want to take a break at any point though, you definitely can.
I am just a little nervous since my family dr is not happy with it. But I will continue I feel great.
Why is your dr not happy w it?
@@zannaadedigba3936 he say that my testosterone was to high.
I’m on estrogen progesterone and testosterone. It was fine the first 3 months but now I am very sick. I have constant abdominal pain. I have to wait until the pellets dissolve but the estrogen caused a condition that now has me scheduled for a hysterectomy. It’s been horrible and I’ve gained 20 pounds. I’m extremely miserable. I thought this was going to help me and I didn’t. It made things worse. Every “body” is different, it just didn’t work out for me
Hey they should not have put you on a combination of testosterone and estrogen when you are clearly not a post menopausal woman. That combination is for post menopausal women, that may explain your experience. Peri menopausal women should only supplement with estrogen if tests proves this is necessary
how are you now? have y been feeling better
I suggest doing creams before pellets…and research who is actually deciding how many hormones you should get
Like any doctor or NP…
Do your homework!
@@msblizz11I was just put on estradiol 2mg cream with 2mg testosterone .post menopausal 54.
I requested it due to sex being horribly painful , UTIs, and low drive. Do you know if testosterone in the cream will help? I haven't heard of anyone using that in their estrogen cream.
Im on that too now. Just started and I still have my regular cycle every month,
my numbers were just low, Im 48. It's mostly preventative, I want all 3 hormones balanced and higher. Will see.
Thank you for such a well informed video.
Interesting....I assume your estrogen levels were normal ? Ty 4 sharing your experience, side effects seem to vary from person to person but I think testosterone is necessary in small doses for women. Have you come across Menopause Taylor aka menopause Barbie on TH-cam? She is an encyclopedia on all things menopause but doesn't seem on board with testosterone.
Wow thank you so much for sharing! Great info
Hi Alison, Thanks for the video. I'm considering but have only done weekly shots so far. My blood pressure is going up and I gained 3-5 lbs. Dr wants to put me on a water pill that also helps with T acne (Spiro?) Do you have any experience with this?
Thank you for sharing, super helpful in every way. 🥰
Actually pellets can give inconsistent dosing. Why not use a compounded gel ?
I have the same question, the get is milder and you can adjust the dose so it's more consistent.
Can anyone chime in on costs when your doctors or insurance won't cover? I'm going to have to go to hormone clinic. 48 yo, have lost my brain which was extremely high level, scary and absolutely no energy. DHEA, Test levels are low. I build a lot of muscle so that is not an issue. None of my doctors care.
$450 women
$700 men of need more than 2,000 mg testosterone.
Hi is anybody experiencing anxiety and panic attacks on pellets. Felt great from 2nd week post insertion and on 6th week much more anxiety. Thnx
MintRx pharmacy. You see a doctor online. You get sent a package for a blood sample to your door . If your poor like me this allows you BHRT.
Thank you for this video! Have you done an update on the pellets. I read that you also had an issue with hair thinning. Are you still dealing with it?
Thank you for this video! I just got them!
Omgoodness: this is my exact same life .. I told my husband the very very same thing .. “it’s not you it’s me “ 5 years later nw ..an it sucks to hear my husband say our daughter broke me “
Thank you! This was really helpful!
Thanks!
Did you have any hair loss issues, if so what helped you? I love my pellets but Im shedding hair badly.
What level did you start on my test results were less than 3 when they tested my hormone levels
Hi, thanks for information, Please i need know if in Toronto have treatment this.
Flavia Miranda Paiva da Cunha I’m in Toronto too. I don’t think anyone in Toronto or even Canada, provides pellets.
Please tell your viewers you can do the whole thing online with Harmony program through MintRX pharmacy. It’s the only way I could afford BHRT. I’m 52 and live in Arizona. I don’t work for them or get paid by them. Sadly their are two states that do allow this program
