  Hi ladies,
I did a quick search so didn't bother you lovely lot but I'm curious if anyone had similar .
So, I went to GP  about 2 weeks ago as for months I've been aching everywhere and knackered, plus I have mild arthritis in my hands so wanted to check I wasn't showing signs of general inflammation. I asked for a blood test but she seemed to think it was my HRT not working as well and to increase my oestrogel from 2 to 3 pumps daily and review in 2 months.
I've been using 3 pumps in the morning and for the last week have had sore painful breasts and today  a bad migraine.
Could it be the oestrogel increase ?  I'm not sure if it will settle as only increased 10 days ago but I'm wondering if it's too much estrogen for me.
I have a mirena coil for the progesterone element.
Has this happened to anyone else when increasing ?
I'm pretty miserable with it tbh, can even run on the Gym treadmill as boobs hurt so much !
Thanks

Hi I just upped my gel from 1 x 0.5 to two and my boobs have been so sore so it must be too much E for my body’s do you think ?
