Women do produce testosterone but only a fraction of what a man produces. This small amount is VERY important for optimal bodily functioning.
I recommend a book entitled "Natural Hormone replacement for Women" by Dr. Uzzi Reiss
SYMPTOMS OF LOW TEST
There are many but I will list a few of the more common ones.
loss of sexual desire
reduced sensitivity of the clit and nipples
General fatigue
Little stamina
difficulty loosing weight inspite of an exercise plan and reduced caloric intake
loss of hair
indecisivness
loss of coordination and balance
poor muscle tone anfd flabbiness
muscle weakness
WHO GETS IT
Mostly post menopausal women but it is not that uncommon in young women
BENEFITS OF PROPER TEST BALANCE
Stamina
stronger muscles with tone
less body fat and easier time loosing fat
stronger bones
feelings of security, positivity and stability
protection against arterial plaque build up
Improved balance and hand/eye coordination
Increased sexual desire
Increased enjoyment of sex
WHO SHOULD TAKE TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENTATION
Any women with a total test levels below 30ng/dl that has symtoms of test defeciency. Normal range is typically betwen 30-80ng/dl. Some ladies that are less hairy may have normal test levels from 20-40 but the more muscular and hairy female usually has a higher test level 75-100
Just because your test level falls in the normal range does not mean that you could not benefit from test replacement therapy. Each persons needs are different. If you have the classic signs of defeciency them you probably need test replacement.
HOW TO TAKE TEST
The best way to take test for a women is through tiny pellet implants. This gives a constant even low dose of test over many months. Unfortunately these implants are not available in the uSA or Canada.
Test injections can be used but they can easily cause test levels to climb too high and cause virilization in the long run. I think this is because the injections are usually given only once every two weeks at the most and at doses of 50mg per shot. This will cause a high spike in blood hormone levels and then it will almost clear by the end of the two weeks. I am certain that a better way to take the injections would be to inject tiny amounts very frequently,and measured in an insulin syringe for accuracy. A good start would be to inject 5mg of test cyp every 5 days or so with a tiny 27 gauge needle(no pain) It is very important that you follow up the injections with lab work to determine if you are taking the correct amount. You really don't want to be above the high range of normal for months on end as sides will most certainly come on eventually.
There is a patch being developed for women as we speak but curently the best modality in North America is to use 2-4% test gel. The gel is usually applied in small amounts to the inner thighs and or the perineal region.
NATURAL TEST
The doc that wrote the book insists that one use natural test, that is test that is identicle to the test you produce. Some preperations like Methyl test pills are not pure natural testosterone. These pills are certainly liver toxic if used long term as well.
You can get the gel at "compounding Pharmacies"
As a side he also insists that one use natural estrogen and progesterone if you decide to use these in the future. He says premarin is toxic as it contains way too many different estrogens for the uterus of pregnant horses. Hormone therapy that dose not use ONLY natural hormones will cause disease eventually as a very recent study has made clear.
USING TEST FOR SPECIAL AFFECTS
In the book mentioned above several women increase their daily dose at specific times for certain reasons ie: an anticipated very stressful day, before workouts and before sporting competition and before having sex. Some increase the daily dose by three fold! They all stop the test use for a number of days after this so androgen levels do not build up too high . This is recommended by the doctor. When his patients do not do this they have always ended up with some virilization , most commonly a little facial hair growth.
This backs up the dosing practise for female BBers recommended by Bill llewellyn and Bill Roberts. They suggest that a female dose androgens less frequently then men to allow for some of the androgen to clear the system before the next dose. You see it is not only higher levels of androgen that may cause sides but also the time the androgen has to act in the body.
HOW TO REALLY IMPROVE SEX
If one manually stimulates the clit for a few minutes to get blood to the region and then applies a little gel this can, in time, really improve sensitivity. It can also improve the quality of oragsm, and make one multi-orgasmic as well.
About 20% of females cannot reach orgasm without manual clit stimulation during sex. A full one third of the docs patients that required this manual stimulation have been able to reach orgasm strictly vaginally after using test gel in this way.
Hope this helps a few ladies.
