I had mirena coil fitted in December,and estring for overactive bladder, and added one pump of oestrogel.
Felt fantastic, then after a week, I started spotting, and continued to do so.
Went to see my GP beginning of January, and after discussion re spotting (she said it can take up to 6 months to settle) and discussed occasional power surge on waking, she suggested I try two pumps Oestrogel, with view to possibly removing estring eventually to see how bladder responds with just oestrogel.
I used the two pumps and within 5 days my mood completely changed, I was anxious/grumbly acidic tummy, and snappy, and felt really low. However the spotting did stop/ease off to virtually nothing, I removed estring on Friday to see if that would help mood at all.
Couldn't cope with feeling grumpy, and hubby commenting, so yesterday I dropped back to one pump oestrogel, and felt so much better as the day went on, and again today feeling good 😊 However, I have had to pee more again, so I've reinserted estring.
Just wonder if one pump and estring is going to be my best treatment moving forward, and hope it's enough to I trol the spotting too.
Not easy trying to find the right balance is it?
