Title: Estrogel pumps x 2 sore boobs
Post by: Rashui on March 01, 2021, 09:49:51 PM

Hi all,
I am new here, sorry if posting in wrong place??
I have started Estrogel x 2 pumps for chronic insomnia and heat and anxiety.... my boobs always got lumpy when I was getting periods but no longer get periods. I am hoping that this calms down ?? Also taking progesterone which can’t be causing the sore boobs as was in that with livial for 6 months.... came off livial as still not sleeping. Any advice on the boobs getting big and sore appreciated x

Hi there - how did it turn out for you with the boobs in the end?
I had this too and it was bad enough for me to stop HRT altogether.  I also didn't get replies.

Hi me, how long did you stay on the hrt? I had swollen sore boobs when first starting hrt, it went around 6 weeks in, but every time I've done an increase the same happens, I've recently increased to 4 and had the same problem, only this time it wasn't at the beginning of the increase but 4 weeks in, also they have stayed permanently much bigger than before hrt, I use estrogen only x
