Thinking about switching to tablet oestradiol after mixed results with transdermal. Anyone had better results?

[Tempest]

Hi, Dawncam! I'm switching the other way at the moment after trying oral HRT, but I tried Premarin. Premarin for me was a difficult one! I'm not ruling out oral estradiol if need be next though. I'm using Estrogel again right now as a 'stop gap' as I don't t think I'm getting consistent coverage with transdermal gel. I've not tried patches as yet as I have issues with sticking plasters already, and the one we were considering (Estradot) seems to have sporadic problems with supply issues.

What are you using right now, and what are you thinking of trying next?

Hi Tempest - thanks for your reply. I've used oestrogel and estradot patches separately for over a year now.

The patches are good but seem to cause more bloating and water retention. The gel seems to work sporadically. I've tried sequi and conti utrogestan alongside but again, after about 2 weeks conti I run into trouble with spotting and other related side effects. I'm at the point of stopping everything and starting again.
