I just wanted to update that after a month my bloating has been horrendous but just this last week or so it's been much better.  No more headaches either. So it seems the advice to hang in there was good, as well as to increase the Femigel (estradiol) from two to three pumps, which wouldn't have happened without this forum. I also found advice to apply to the inside of the leg where skin is thinner and I reckon this also made a difference. 😊

Really pleased to hear things are going in the right direction hearandthere .  The advice to hang on in there does work most of the time but when you are suffering  "hanging on" for a couple of months or more seems nearly impossible, doesn't it?!

For sure!! Bloating got better but I just added a fourth pump for this last leg to gauge the difference, as my flushing is pretty bad again.  As the doctor said my absorption of the estrogen gel is not good according to the blood test, I'll probably switch to trying the oral route at my next appointment, same as the utrogestan. I'm soon starting on the last pump of my prescription.  Felt really wired a day ago, then better the next day. So far after a few days I'm still getting flushes.
