Hello Stellajane.

You could be right about the ratio of gel to Utrogestan for best effect and of course that would apply to all users!

My consultant said it is a  pity that a 50mcg dose of Utrogestan isn't available as well as a 100mcg but there probably isn't any profit in it. Maybe we need a campaign ladies!

Thank you for your post and I will keep everyone informed ( try stopping me lol).

Take care.

Hi I'm one week in on Estrogel 2 pumps and Utrogestan 100mg daily.My only side effect is achey boobs in an evening and Im feeling like Im going to start a period( not had one since having an ablation in 2016).

I felt rough a few days ago but seems to be subsiding.

My only other problem is pain in my armpit perhaps where my lymph nodes are. Can feel a lump in one.Probably a coincidence.

I'm also doing my Estriol

Good luck Kathleen with your new increased regime. I really hope it works out for you. Xx
I know exactly how you feel with the jitters I have terrible anxiety at the moment & any small stress seems to send me over the edge & I too think it is low oestrogen.

Hello paisley.

Thank you for your post.

The jitters are awful aren't they,  I've never experienced any like them until the menopause. My trusty meno book talks about a subtle trembling but I think the lady who said it was like she had swallowed a large vibrating mobile phone was nearer the mark! I find it impossible to relax when they are happening  and always sigh with relief when they suddenly disappear.

 I've been plagued by them for a long time so I hope that increasing my oestrogen will finally put an end to them.

Thank you for your comments and take care.

It is a meno. symptom, but also......

http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety/symptoms/shaking-anxiety.shtml

It says it's particularly noticeable at rest, or when waking up and many, many ladies here report this. I have a friend who had the internal vibrating in peri, but not post meno., so I think in meno. It's either fluctuating hormones, or (or very annoyingly) fluctuating HRT.

I know when i'm having a 'good' day with plenty to distract me that it goes away if I'm not using HRT. On the patch, it's when it starts to run low after 2.5 days. So I started to wonder.......For me, it's part fluctuating HRT,  part anxiety and partly neuro. symptoms from MS (but the latter are usually spasms). :o xxxx

Hello again ladies.

I've read other posts where ladies say that they don't notice their meno symptoms when distracted or absorbed in an activity so it is possible to ‘forget ‘ about them for a while. If only there was a tried and tested way of ‘forgetting‘ our hormonal turmoil permanently so we could get on with our lives, now THAT ladies is the dream!

Take care all.
