Hi
Yes I split the dose. 3 pumps of estrogel in the morning and 3 pumps early evening, both on thighs trying to do it on a different area each set. You could do outer arms to but I try to steer away from anywhere near the breast.
It's a faff but one worth putting up with and soon becomes a habit.
The hyper aspect is probably just an increase in energy with the oestogen. Keep an eye on it though, your thyroid might be playing up.
Yes indigestion went crazy, it's typical for peri/meno unfortunately. Do all you can with diet and lifestyle changes. I had prescribed laprazole for 3 months and weaned myself off and it seems to have calmed down, fingers crossed!
Good luck! X
