What Midi can’t do for you
All of this comes from Midi’s own site, as of October 2026.
- No testosterone injections. Midi’s testosterone is a cream you rub on your inner thigh. If cream hasn’t worked for you, there’s no injection to move to.
- No testosterone in half the country. Midi prescribes it in 24 states plus DC. If you live in Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee or Minnesota, you can’t get it from Midi.
- No free call before you’re billed. Midi’s first step is a video visit with a clinician, billed to your insurance or $250 self-pay. Ours is a free call with our care team. It isn’t a medical visit, but it checks your coverage and costs before anything is billed.
- Two visits before a prescription. Midi says most women see a clinician twice before getting testosterone. With us, it’s usually one provider visit, after your free call and labs.
Where each clinic actually wins
Where Midi wins
- Estrogen and progesterone through insurance, if you have a PPO. Midi says its care-plan prescriptions are covered by major insurers. Ours are self-pay.
- Size. Midi says more than 500,000 women have used it.
Where Amazing Meds wins
- Testosterone as a cream or a weekly injection, not cream only
- Testosterone in all 50 states, not 24 plus DC
- A free call to check your coverage before any billed visit
- Usually one provider visit before a prescription, not two
- Lower self-pay follow-ups: $140, against Midi’s $150
- TRICARE accepted for visits and labs
For testosterone, we come out ahead on the forms we offer and where we can treat you. If all you need is estrogen and progesterone on a PPO plan, Midi may be the simpler choice.

How I approach testosterone
We discuss cream and injections as options from the start, based on your preferences and your provider’s assessment. In our clinic, most women start with cream and later prefer injections; some start with injections right away. Skin-applied testosterone has the most research behind it. The catch is absorption: the same cream can give two women very different levels, and compounded creams can vary in strength. If a cream isn’t working, labs tell you whether it isn’t absorbing or the dose is simply too low.
So we test before starting. We check total testosterone, free testosterone and SHBG, the protein that ties testosterone up so your body can’t use it. Oral estrogen pushes SHBG up, which is one reason a “normal” total can still come with symptoms. After you start, we recheck and adjust.
A small weekly injection may be an option from the start after your provider’s assessment; trying cream first isn’t a requirement. The dose is measured in the syringe instead of depending on how much your skin absorbs, which can make it easier to adjust. The ISSWSH guideline favors skin-applied testosterone and is cautious about injections because they can push levels too high, so we check labs closely and aim to keep you within the normal female range. Oral testosterone is a distant third. Most women never use it, and the same guideline advises against it because of its effect on cholesterol. I go into the trade-offs in testosterone cream vs injections for women.
What our patients tell us
Low desire is where the research on testosterone for women is strongest. Once their dose is right, our patients often tell us about more than that:
- More desire
- Steadier energy through the day
- More stamina
- Less brain fog
- Feeling stronger in the gym
Many call it game-changing. These are what our own patients report, not promised results, and every woman responds differently.
Book a free consultation. Not sure where to start? Begin with a free call. Here is how it works at Amazing Meds.
- Free consultation. Our care team sees if we can help, answers your questions, and verifies your insurance.
- Labs. If you want to move forward, we book your lab work on that same call, at a lab near you. Labs are billed to your insurance.
- Provider visit. We book your visit to go over your results and your options. Visits are billed to your insurance.
We work with Aetna, Cigna, TRICARE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare and other major plans, and we treat patients by telehealth in all 50 states. Medication is self-pay.
If you’re on Midi now
Midi describes its testosterone cream as low-dose. Most women who switch to us from Midi tell us they didn’t notice enough benefit from their testosterone cream. That reflects our patients’ experiences, not everyone’s response to Midi.
Can I switch if Midi’s cream isn’t working? Yes. Bring your recent labs and current prescription to the free call, and we’ll walk you through your options.
Will I need new labs? Maybe. If your recent results include total testosterone, free testosterone and SHBG, the care team will tell you on the free call whether we can work from them.
Can I keep my Midi estrogen and add testosterone with you? You can, but both clinics need to know everything you take, so share your prescriptions and labs with each.
Does Midi take insurance? Midi says it’s in-network with most PPO plans, but HMO visits are self-pay and it can’t see Medicaid patients. Its testosterone cream is self-pay.
Start with a free call, and we’ll check your coverage before anything is billed. Book a free consultation.
