I’ve been on Oestrogel for 2 years and have always applied it in the evening around 7.45pm after my shower.
Since Menopause I have struggled with sleep.
I’m wondering about splitting the dose 2 pumps AM and 2 pumps PM does anyone do this and sleep well.
I have 2  Utrogestan orally before bed, also have Testosterone AM. Still can’t sleep. I take Magnesium and B vitamins.

I always did my 3.5 pumps in the morning, after my shower as this suited my routine. When I was using utrogestan I found it stopped me getting to sleep, a bit like drinking coffee late in the day, so I started to take it mid evening. I eat around 6pm so I could take safely take it by 8.30 and found that this enabled me to fall asleep easily. An added bonus was that this stopped me snacking during the evening as I knew I had to have empty stomach!

I do find that disturbed sleep is one of the first signals from my body (along with itchy skin) that I need to up oestrogen. But we are all different!

That’s funny because I always get an itchy nose in the night when my hormones aren’t right drives me crazy.
I’ve just recently changed from Vagifem to Intrarosa I’m nearly 7 weeks in and I think this might also have something to do with feeling hormonally upset and even worse sleep than before. I’m undecided at the moment on the Intrarosa I’ve got 5 weeks left.
