This is a very interesting thread thanks everyone.
I have been on two pumps of gel since June 2017 I began with one pump in 2016 and gradually increased it so for two years been on the same dose. Realise over last six months the symptoms I had been initially experiencing have come back. God knows why but it never occurred to me that it was to do with low estrogen-I attributed my insomnia, depression, anxiety attacks and downright knackeredness to life events until I started getting those hot ghost visitations. I have just upped my dose as of last night to 3 pumps and I'm really excited!
Also worried as if my consultant doesn't prescribe me any extra Oestrogel gel I will run out!!

I think we all absorb HRT preparations very differently. I've applied the equivalent of a 75mg patch today and I feel much better.

I reduce by half a pump at a time. I have noticed increased anxiety and insomnia since increasing. So I am going to reduce again. ☹️

Hi Birdy
Think this is what's happening to me now, I'm back up to 2 pumps Oestrogel after reducing to half a pump every day but anxiety came back gradually?  GP said go back to my maintenance dose but I'm still anxious and definitely have brain fog.  I really think I need to go on to a continuous oestrogen and progestogen regime now, feel more chilled when I have the utrogestan!!!! Strange! 
Anyone else any suggestions? I'm really struggling with this.  Tinnitus is bad today! 😢 xx
