His and Her Health

does anyone take monthly injections of testadiol? i had a total hysterectomy in 1994 and took premarin until five months ago. began the injections because i thought this would be one less pill to take. thinking about going back on premarin. have noticed a little more facial hair. has done nothing for libido..........<BR>thanks for your input...by the way, i take one and one half cc of this drug every four weeks...

Could you check the product name again - the only thing that I can find that is close, is DELATESTRYL.<P>I don't think that's right, so I'm asking for more information.<P>Thanks,<BR>Greg

I'm glad someone mentioned this b/c that is what I wanted to do instead of anything else b/c of having to take one more pill. The cream is not bad I just forget to use it so Im not on schedule. An injection would be great. This is crazy but I remember when in college for my second degree so in my 30's complaining to my gyn that I needed energy to keep up with my family and school and he told me to follow him and he took me into his office and gave me this injection. And WOW,, I could do all I wanted but make love with my husband, still didn't want him but many others. No, didn't act on it. NO side effects that I can remember. Maybe memory loss is one of them. I wish Dr. Jen would allow this tx for me but she laughed so I took that to mean no. The cream is actually working for me sporadically. I do use it three times - 4 times per week but not on the same days. I wonder does this cream make you gain weight? At my age, my pride gets in the way of having to need so many things just to feel somewhat the way I remember feeling. It really doesn't seem fair. I used to be so tiny, kinda cute, great shape and loved sex then married a man with a low sex drive and a horrible way with romance and all of it seems to have been wasted being rejected. And now 3 years post divorce and in mid fifties, all of those things have changed. I want them back and the powers that "govern" say NO and now I'm having to grieve and accept....I have no energy to fight back. Sorry for rambling.<P>pinkrose

I notice the date of your message was 2003, so I don't know if you ever received an answer to your question about Depo-Testadiol by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. I used this injection along with Depo-Estradiol for 15 years after my complete hysterectomy and it worked perfectly for me. In the last three years, Pfizer has discontinued making this hormone and I wrote them, asking if they were planning to replace it, but they said they had no plans. My regimen was Depo-Estradiol every 2-3 weeks for 3 injections, and Depo-Testadiol as the 4th injection. You need a balance to protect you from facial hair, etc. and you need the Testadiol to keep the Estradiol effective. Hope this helps if you still visit the forum.
