Title: Lumps under my arm pit
Post by: Burchers on June 21, 2018, 04:25:01 PM

Sorry it's me again.
I have got a lump under my armpit.Could this be a reaction to the Estrogel or Ustrogen?

I increased my pumps from 2 to 3 today as thought it might help me feel better.

I'm about to give up on HRT and slog it out naturally.
I feel sick my womb feels like Im about to start a period , I feel tired, my boobs ache, anxiety still in the background.

Is all this normal. I had no side effects when I started on the Fem Seven Patches.

Hey  :)

I got lumps under my arms when I first had menopausal symptoms - size of Maltesers/gobstoppers and two to three each side. Really painful and flu like symptoms too.
They were one of my reasons for starting HRT.

Hopefully they might settle with your increased dose.

Do make an appt. with a GP/Practice Nurse/Pharmacist to put your mind at rest.
