I have always struggled with hormone imbalance whether it be PCOS or low progesterone/testosterone. My left ovary had to be removed due to PCOS, and a few years later, a sharp decline in hormone balance occurred. I went from having higher testosterone to extremely low testosterone, resulting in little sleep, muscle loss, and fat gain. I was at risk for heart disease due to these factors in addition to family history of heart disease. As you know, insomnia contributes to heart disease as well as muscle loss and body fat percentage. Going on an extremely low dose of testosterone has increased the hours of sleep I get each night. According to my dexascan, my muscle ratio has increased by 10% as I have lost fat around my organs. My progesterone levels have increased and higher than normal estrogen levels decreased, lowering my risk for breast cancer which is also part of my family history. I have more energy and feel great!
