Hi again more advice needed sorry ::) so been on everol patches loved them.. can't get them so now on gel and tablet form progestin. 10th Dec started on the gel I do 2 and a half pumps of gel first thing in the morning I haven't started taking the utrogestan yet till my 16 days which is tomorrow. But I can't stay asleep I go to bed shattered then wake up at 2 ish and that's it for the night. My question is should I increase the gel or lower it to 2 pumps or even lower. I think the equilvent is 3 pumps to 1 patch but my Dr said to take 2 pumps due to side effects is a stroke if I take too much many thanks for the advice x

Hi
The risk of thrombosis and stroke is really with oral oestrogen not transdermal.
