Gel is fantastic, one can adjust it up or down, according to symptoms, I have been on it for over 10 yrs really love it.

Hello Anjia.

I've just seen your post and my first response to your question was ' chance would be a fine thing lol '

Lots of women seem to prefer the gel so if you can get some I hope it works for you. The stuff doesn't seem to exist where I live...

Wishing you well.
