Hi, just a update on trying the 12 days Progesterone, this has definitely helped with the PMT symptoms, as do feel a lot better and know i have problems with continuous progesterone.  I didn't have a bleed though so unsure of this is good or bad. My main concern is and I know that Oestrogel and Oestrodose are the same ( read the posts)but my pharmacy issued my repeat for Oestrogel rather than oestrodose and my hot flushes have returned, everything has been going along great and felt i had got to that stage where hormones were at last settled , I've only been on oestrodose since June increased dose from 1 pump to 2 and all good. I've increased the Oestrogel to 3 pumps last week but still waking up at night with hot flushes. I really don't know what to do ? If I increase oestrogel pumps will this effect my progesterone and womb lining ?

You can use up to 4 pumps with the same amount of progesterone .  Some ladies use more oestrogel under specialist care x

Hi Dotty and thanks for your reply, its just so weird that i get a different gel and flushes come back. If I go to 4 doses should I use 2 pumps on both thighs as quite petite lol and struggling to rub in 3 pumps on inside thigh.

Hi paulapo....some ladies prefer Oestrogel and say that Oestradose doesn't work as well.  Others say they re both the same.  Could you ask for another prescription dn specify that you want Oetradose?

I use 4 pumps... 2 on each shoulder, outer arm every morning. So , yes , you should put 2 on each thigh x

Hi I've just rang my docs to see if I can have Oestrodose PX so fingers crossed.

Well I've been to docs and pharmacy and they can't get hold of oestrodose and pharmacist said it's the same product. She opened  up the  unused box product and it's the same shape container as oestrodose but says oestrogel, also has different logo etc so looks like I'm going to have to use the oestrogel  and see how it goes .
