Low Testosterone Level - anyone tried anything for this?

[Guest guest]

HI - I just received bloodwork results that show a very low

testosterone level, which we're hoping will explain why my libido

level is extremely low. One of the things my gyn was considering is

a testosterone cream - but because of the vulvadynia, realized that

it might not be an option for me. She also mentioned injections but

said they are normally only used in older women. (I'll be 40 next

week.) Has anyone tried the testosterone cream or DHEA cream (a

" mother " hormone that converts to testosterone and other hormones)?

My rheumatologist (I have fibro also) suggested that getting off the

birth control pills (for control of endometriosis - I've had my tubes

tied, so I don't take them for birth control) might also help the

libido level, but then I get into having the endo act up, and

bleeding which kills my skin, so I would probably end up having a

hysterectomy...ANY suggestions? My gyn is supposed to call me later

today or tonight. Thank you!
