But if they're like, nope, we just do pellets here, run.

You deserve better.

Now, if you go through all of your options and you and your clinician decide together, this is what I want to try.

I want to try pellets.

Okay.

That's up to you, but you better damn be sure you are being monitored in physiologic ranges, okay?

And physiologic range of testosterone for a female should not go above, much above 100.

Not to say that there's a few patients who might do well at that dose, but that is not where you start.

And you should never be above 200.

Let me explain this in clear language.

If you were not given exogenous testosterone, if you were not on any testosterone therapy and you came in complaining of hair loss or whatever, which would prompt me to check a testosterone level thinking you might have a tumor, that is a level above 90.

If you come in with a spontaneous testosterone level above 90 to 100, I am obligated.

It is malpractice if I don't investigate why you have that.

Now, it might be PCOS.

If it's above 200...

and I don't draw and I don't go look for a tumor, I could lose my license for malpractice.

So why would I take that patient and run her over 200, you know?

Buyer beware.

How do you find, okay, so this is a great question and we do have options.
