Testosterone is licensed for severely low libido in postmenopausal women, however, it may be prescribed off licence for low mood and fatigue. Testosterone blood levels need to be monitored every 3 months, and sometimes the dose is altered to get the right level. When the dose level is correct for you, you will need annual blood tests. It is important that the blood test is taken before you apply the testosterone as this may affect the result.

My experience with an Oestrogen only implant has been only positive, all symptoms gone and the convenience of only having it once every 6 months is worth every penny. The testosterone implant however has made no difference to my libido so i've stopped having it. Vagifem and ovestin haven't really helped with vaginal dryness or libido either.
