Hrt gel
« on: March 23, 2025, 11:01:07 AM »
Hi was looking for some advice please. Started Oestrogel 4 days ago 1 pump in morning. Feeling great apart from stomach pain all day long. Could this be the gel and will it settle? Been on Everol 25 for years so this was a change over. Thanks allana x

Why did U change over - was the Everol easing symptoms?  R U able to describe the pain?

Hi Iv changed over as patch hadn’t worked for a long time. On the gel i instantly feel great. The pain was the worse Iv ever felt. Cramping continually. Couldn’t sleep and tummy like 9 months pregnant. As soon as I stoped it and put on a patch no more tummy issues. Really weird as never been great on patches.

Is there a reason you didn't increase the patch strength? I would have expected that to be the first option.
