I'm going to bookmark this post for reference.

After I had a complete hysterecomy, in my 40's losing my hormones was horrific. I got a dr. who added a low dose of testosterone to the HRT I had. It made such a huge difference to how I felt. That's been many years ago and I don't remember why it was short term, but I wished at the time I could stay on it permanantly. The goal was different for me, but I had the experience of adding hormones to my body because I needed somethngm my body couldn't do.
