Title: Everol estrogen only patch to ostrogel
Post by: Pink68 on October 19, 2024, 08:31:37 AM
Hi ladies moved from patch to gel as wasn’t absorbing. Estrogen was at 70. Been on gel 3 days and woke up with a headache and feeling a bit anxious. On 2 pumps 1in morning , 1 at night.
Is this normal?

Hi
I found that the gel felt alot stronger for me and in the end i couldn't tolerate 2 pumps. I was also getting jittery and anxious.  Were you on a 25 or 50 patch?

Hi I was on everol50mg patch, yeah maybe I might only need 1pump, although 50mg is normally 2 pumps. I put it on outside of arm to see if it absorbs better.

Anxiety can be from low oestrogen too so it's possible you actually need more ???. Jittery is usually too much if that's hiw you feel, my anxiety was low oestrogen. Not surecabout headaches.
