Hi Ladies, would anyone be able to tell me what 1 pump of gel would be in a patch size?  :-\

I think it’s about a 25 dose in patch?

Yes, as above. It's possible you may
 absorb differently though.

Estradot do a 25 mcg patch. I think that's as low as they go.

I imagine there would be a way of finding out if it's sufficient protection. I think Menopause Taylor website says something about this somewhere. And maybe Menopause Doctor. I'll have a look and report back if I find anything.
