Title: Gel versus patch
Post by: Vicky81 on May 14, 2024, 08:45:17 AM

Sorry just another- I have just switched to gel from patch.
Has anyone found the the gel works much quicker for mood and other symptoms as opposed to the patch?
I've seemed to have heard this alot so just thought I'd ask xx

There is no quick fix unfortunately with either gel or patch. It’s a case of waiting until your oestrogen levels have increased to a level that drops your symptoms .

Are you still using the combined pill as well ?
