Title: How long......
Post by: Liz on August 02, 2016, 01:40:41 PM

after re-starting Oestrogel would it take to work again?  I've recently had a 6 week break (to see what my own cycle is doing) and am now suffering flushing again and dryness?  Knuckle pain is easing but I assume the Oestrogel would have completely cleared my system in the 5/6 weeks and now needs building up again?  I've started again on 2 pumps per day.

Thanks ladies!

2 pumps per day should relieve flushes within a week but other meno symptoms may take longer. Dg x

Dryness: where?  If vaginal then ask for Ovestin or Vagifem ?

Dryness downstairs..... ;)  Bit sore and swollen too, especially in the few days after sex.  So, basically re-starting the Oestrogel after 5/6 weeks is starting from scratch.  Nothing would have stayed in my system after this time and I'm starting again - is that correct?
