Is it the testosterone or low to no estrogen/progesterone?
46 female recently being treated for peri. My OB wouldn’t do a hormone panel since I’m on nuvaring. Been on nuvaring for 16 years. Went to my husbands Dr who only tested me for testosterone and found I basically had none. I had a testosterone pellet inserted about 4 weeks ago. About 2 weeks ago I went off the nuvaring since my husband had a vasectomy last fall.
Supposedly I’m should feel great on the testosterone. I do feel a bit better and my libido has actually made a brief appearance or two. But I swear the brain fog, lack of motivation, and ADHD is worse. Not sure if it’s the testosterone or possibly a complete lack of estrogen/progesterone. I just refilled the nuvaring to see if that makes a difference although things I’ve read…just bc you have some of the hormones doesn’t mean it’s at optimal levels.
Anywho, I realize I need to discuss it with the Dr. and I plan to when I go in 2 weeks for follow up bloodwork. Just asking for anyone else’s experience.
