I am on evorel 50 patch 100 utrogestan and a top up of 1 pump oestrogel in the morning. I find I sleep well for about 4 hours then wake 2.30. I nap until 6.30 ish then haul myself out of bed always feeling low and teary and headachy. I add the 1 pump of oestrogel and then start the day. After a couple of hours I feel better. How long does oestrogel stay in the system. Am I better off going to evorel 75. I tried adding gel in the evening but that made the insomnia worse. Any advice would be gratefully received.
