After seeing consultant that is it really prescribed testosterone male hormone in small dose. Has anyone else been prescribed this? Does it work? I was a bit shocked really.

Women have natural levels of testosterone (and men have some oestrogen). So a tiny dose of some extra when your energy levels are low sounds fine to me.

If you look on "menopause matters" lots of women have been prescribed testosterone

I think the tablets I was on when I had a lot of pre menopause bleeding had testosterone in them.
