Has anyone found that 4 pumps per day is not enough? Can you even go higher than that??
Are you sure that oestrogen is the issue ? Are you using progesterone and / or any other hormones at all?
My side effects were down to too much oestrogen, fortunately easily resolved by cutting down to just the one pump. I suspect I'll have an awful lot less oestrogen in my body than in my pre-meno days but it feels balanced at the moment so I'm happy with that.

Hi GG
It's good to know that ladies are feeling better when they adjust their dose.
I was on femoston for a year and because my bowel wasn't working, I didn't absorb the pill way of oestrogen delivery.
Patches are better way of delivery for me. I am on 100mcg, after trialling the 50mcg and the 75mcg patches for three months each.
I was still getting flushes on the 50mcg and 75mcg, albeit reduced flushes on 75mcg, but on the 100mcg, I could put my bedside fan back in the cupboard, as the flushes went.
I never got rid of the anxiety and depression, but I understand that these symptoms of meno don't always go away when hrt is started.
I wonder, what were your side effects of too much oestrogen?
I am only 48years old, but the flushes started when I was 42 and got steadily worse until I started the patches. I didn't start hrt until I was 47, as I didn't know I was meno, and I put the symptoms down to withdrawals from the drugs that I was prescribed and weaning off at the time.
I don't know if I am post meno now, given that I have been flushing for six years, but I got quite a heavy period one months, when I didn't take my utrogestan, so this tells me I am still peri, after all this time.
Anyway I will shut up now, as I not an oestrogel user, and this is an oestrogel thread.
thanks for reading anyway
