Hi I have been on EStradot 75 and ultrageston for 5 years I an 57. They have worked really well but recently I am feeling low and a bit anxious. Is it ok to increase in your late 50s I was thinking I might start reducing to 50 when I reached 60 but I feel like I now need more not less.

A colleague suggested a change to the gel as absorbency can sometimes be better than a patch

Any advice gratefully received

Hi yes it could be that you need a higher dose of oestrogen so you could increase to a 100 patch .

Thanks dotty is it worth considering a change over to the gel?

[Dotty]

Gel or patches is a personal choice. It’s what suits you best.

If you’re not absorbing from the patches it could be worth changing, but the best thing would be to increase the patch first.

Thanks I will do that
