paisley, I wasn't having problems with Oestrogel, I think it's a fantastic product but I always like to keep an open mind and try new products when they come onto the market. I spoke to the pharmacist at length about Lenzetto and he thinks it is a good product with a better delivery system than conventional gel. Like Oestrogel it is very dose flexible but it is easier to use because you don't have to rub it in and it dries in seconds. It is also slightly stronger so the maximum dose is 3 pumps of gel each although I am splitting my dose by 1 pump every 12 hours as I was before.
Re my Oestrogel/Bazedoxifene trial, it was a case of it worked I didn't! I didn't have any unpleasant side effects from the baze and it did stop the womb lining build up - no breakthrough bleeding at all - but I'm afraid it did surpress my oestrogen levels which, in theory, it should not have and I found I was getting a slight return of my sweating symptoms - blood tests confirmed reduced oestrogen levels. I was going to try Duavive proper but decided not to because it would mean an even lower dose of oestrogen and I don't think it would have worked for me because I need high levels. That said, I would not want to put anyone else off trying this regime because I think it could work well for a lot of women because not everyone needs high levels of oestrogen like me.
I went back to Oestrogel only once I stopped using the baze and it was a long time before I had breakthrough bleeding so after speaking to my gynaecologist, I did a round of Utrogestan, had a scan and all was OK so nothing lost in trying it out.
