Hi just needs again
Would any know why after I apply my estrogel I'm taking hot flush ?
I was using 2 pumps in morning and 2 pumps at night and the nights sweats were awful so I lowered it to 3 pumps per day but over last 7 weeks the hot flushes and night sweats are just getting worse so I upped the dose again to 4 pumps but I feel totally awful , sweats , no energy, mood isn't great and could cry over the daftest of things
Can't get refereed to meno clinic because if the covid 19
Am I on too high of dose or too low ?
I'm just feeling the way I did before I started hrt over 18 months ago p
Thanks

I use patches so not sure about gel. Hopefully someone will be along soon with more experience x

Thank you
I was on the patches but then they became unavailable so that's how I ended up with gel plus I use provera tablets for 12 days each month to give me a bleed as I've still my womb tho I'm postmonpause almost 6 years , just gets a bit frustrating when we feel we are back to start of the journey
Seems never ending !!

I know what you mean. I'm on Estradot 75 and am feeling anxious and jittery but when I lower it to 50, I have a really low mood, up it to 100 and am on the ceiling. Tried the gel but makes me feel too low or wired. Can't seem to get the right dose. The slightest tweak and everything is upside down again. it's a nightmare! You are not alone. X
