Has anyone used testosterone gel (topical testosterone) to help improve egg quality?but had uncomfortable side effect?

I've been on the gel for a while now, on and off. I'm writing today to see if anyone has experienced acne on your labia or lumps inside the skin of your labia. (This is why I've been using on and off because once I stop, they go away)

I have gone down the google rabbit hole, but cannot find anything.

I thought I'd check on here before emailing my clinic.

Thanks everyone!

I used testosterone gel for 2 months and didn’t get any side effects. I had my levels tested before I started and then again a month later to make sure I defiantly needed it and that levels weren’t too high. Maybe worth talking to your Dr as perhaps the dose is too high? Wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks. I have been able to improve symptoms by taking every 2 days instead. I've been on it since December, now I'm waiting for PRP procedure. Hurry up and wait is what fertility treatments are. Good luck to you!

I used testosterone gel during stims and had no side effects. Where are you applying it too?

Thanks for the reply. On my upper arms or thigh. I'm also finding I'm irritable. I did mention to my nurse, wasnt too concerned. So I started to use it every 2 days instead, which has helped.
