Title: Question for users of oestrogel
Post by: Dougalina on March 29, 2021, 11:10:33 AM

hi

My meno doctor has suggested that I could possibly increase from my 4 pumps a day to 5.  I didn't think to ask at the same time (silly me), but if I do increase, where should I apply the 5th pump? I'm already using both inner thighs and both inner legs.  I thought about splitting the dose, but from searching on here, there are mixed opinions on splitting.  And, if I do, would I split 3/2 or 2.5/2.5?  Does it even matter? 

Sorry for so many questions, but I have used the search box and I am still a bit unsure

Thanks

I would split it. On 3 I took it all at night, now on 4 and do night and morning. I can't say I've noticed any difference. 3/2 is probably easier because it easy to measure half a pump.

Hi Sheila

Thank you for replying, I’ll give 3/2 a go then 😊
