Title: Increase in Oestrogel
Post by: Trixiebell on January 30, 2022, 12:27:28 PM

Hi , I’ve been applying continuous Oestrogel four pumps for a number of months but through my estrogen blood test have been told I’m not absorbing it well my menopause Dr has suggested Everol 100 or increase to 4.5 pumps
I thought that four pumps was the max dose to take
Has anyone else increased from four pumps ?

There shouldn’t be a maximum especially if you don’t absorb.

I would go with the patch suggestion (or Lenzetto) as being easier than spreading all that gel - unless you're fine with doing this every day.

Also irrespective of what your blood level is saying how do you feel and what is your level from the blood test?
