Title: Eastrogen gel bottles and dosage
Post by: Mariab on September 18, 2024, 09:08:06 AM
Hi Ladies,
Is it just me, but when you are getting towards the end of a bottle or even quarter you are not getting the correct dosage?, then when I start a new bottle it seems like eastrogen overload.  :o

Yes! There are lots of us with dosage issues. There is a thread, can't remember name but it has 'faulty bottle' in the title, well worth a read.

I bought a cheap set of jewellers scales from amazon so that I could measure dosage every day and make sure I was getting the right amount. Cost around £5 but well worth it. The dose dispensed varied from 90 to 135 each time, even taking into account the fact scales might not be calibrated correctly this is a huge discrepancy. They were particularly helpful when I wanted to increase my dose by half a pump.

Last month my GP changed me to Lenzetto spray as my Oestrogel was becoming less effective for me, she said she'd had lots of patients reporting issues with Oestrogel.
