Title: Is estrogel being absorbed
Post by: Pink68 on October 04, 2020, 09:09:36 PM

Hi wonder if anyone can answer my question please. I put my 2 pumps of estrogel on in morning, well rubbed in. At night when I have my pjs on it sometimes sticks to where my gel had been. Could this mean Iam not absorbing gel. Have been on 5 weeks but don’t really feel any difference. X🙂

I find it sticky sometimes too particularly when it's hot. What are your symptoms? If you still have flushes you need a higher dose but others seem to need a build up. It took 3 months for my anxiety and insomnia to go. Of course it's possible  you don't absorb it well but I don't think you can make that conclusion because of the stickiness.

I rub it in until it dries doesnt take long to absorb.

Hi ladies maybe just have to give it a bit more time to work. I never really had flushes , my symptoms were more phycological anxiety a lot of joint pain.x
