I'm trying to decide whether to take Estrogen only pills. I already have the mirena coil.

I hate taking pills - I also fear the hair loss and bloating associated - and those are just the short term issues.

Any positive stories for me?

Looks like your post was missed so will reply and hopefully those taking oestrogen only pills might see it! I know there are women out there who do!

Is hair loss is associated with taking oestrogen pills? I thought this was more to do with the progestogen?

Hopefully other members will see this post and reply now

Hi Noheroicsplease

I'd be interested in this too as I don't think you get an even dose with oestrogel.  I have the mirena also.

I think I might have commented on another thread about this

I took elleste solo 2mg for 13 years, they were brilliant with no side effects x

Me too! I'm interested in positives too.

Like you I'm having trouble with the oestrogel and don't think I ever was good on the patches.

Desperate to get my cycle overridden so I can think straight!

Hi Annie

Thanks for your positive post about Elleste solo.  I believe they do it in 1mg which is comparable to my 1 pump of gel so thinking of trying this.

YEs 1mg took my symptoms away within 3 days but a few weeks later they returned so I went to 2mg x
