Hi DG
Thanks for your reply. My thyroid has been tested recently and is ok.
Mirena isn't an option for me and I am already on desogestrel 75mcg x 2 daily. I am worried about reducing the dose of Oestrogel down because I am finding it has really helped me with mood and brain fog. Also, if I start messing about with the dose, will my body have to re-adjust over a few months again? Sorry, it's just that it has taken 18 months to finally find something that is really helping and not giving me horrendous side effects.
Also, I did have testosterone added in but had to stop as it was obviously too high a dose and I was actually feeling suicidal
So I suppose what I am asking is if I reduce the Oestrogel down to 3 pumps, how long may it take for the bleeding and sore breasts to stop. The other thing I can't understand is how a high dose can cause hot flushes?
Thanks DG, but I'm a little confused x
