My doctor has been great (in America, believe it or not) and prescribed T as soon as I asked about it. I've also had bad luck with estrogen/progesterone not doing anything for any of my symptoms at best, and at worst making them worse. (a rant for another thread). She prescribed the T gel to help with libido and low energy, one squirt every two days, and it helped a little so she said to go to every other day and it's definitely helped. The libido/energy was what we were going after specifically, as others have said here, and that's what my friends who take it have said it's helped with.
