I flew with easyjet last week with hand luggage only. Oestrogel fits in the plastic bag of liquids that you are permitted, no questions asked.

I did ask the pharmacy to label the pump, not the box, and took a copy of my prescription just in case there was an issue, but it wasn't needed. I flew through Gatwick.

I flew from Luton with EasyJet 25th March and no problems at all. I had it in one clear 200x200cm plastic ziplock Ikea bag! (With other liquids) and it was fine. I took the box with my prescription label on just in case but it wasn't needed.

I flew last Summer and had the indignity of having to dispense some into a deodorant lid as they wouldn't let me through with it, much to the amusement of my 15 year old daughter 
When I flew last October I made sure I took my prescription with me!!!

Must admit I took back up patches (some remaining from previous hrt) just in case as I was a bit nervous re customs!!

There is no problem with carrying Oestrogel in hand luggage, it is under the limit.  You just have to use a clear plastic bag at the UK end of your journey.

Flew from Athens to UK today. Oestrogel.in the plastic bag in hand luggage - no questions asked.
