Does anyone know roughly how gel doses equate with pill doses? (I know a direct comparison is impossible, but just roughly). If you were on 3mg estrogen in tablet form, what would the equivalent in gel (or even patches) be? Would the higher gel/patch dose be enough to suppress ovulation like the BCP does? I am about to move up to a 3mg BCP but am slightly uneasy with the fact this goes through the liver, like you say. Especially if I am to take it for another decade. If I could get the equivalent dose in a different format, I guess that would be safer? (I'm a fairly high risk for BCP - migraines with aura in my 20s and early stoke on one side of family). So many people seem to have had good results with the gel ? Really interested to know.
