Testosterone pellets can lead to hormone levels that are unnaturally high! When a testosterone pellet is inserted under the skin, it begins releasing testosterone into the body. But here’s the problem—your body absorbs it at its own pace, in a way we cannot precisely control. In the first several weeks, and often for the first month or two, the levels of testosterone in the bloodstream become supraphysiologic. Meaning? It’s far above the amount any woman would ever naturally produce in her body.
