Hi everyone
Just wondering whether anyone has trialled successfully or (not), a combination of patch and gel. I have found it difficult (as I know many others have) to find a sufficiently even and strong method of estrogen delivery. My regime includes zoladex injections (wiping out all my own estrogen) so I need a potent and stable form of estrogen. I've already used the patch up to 150 mcg, with mixed results - some breakthrough of my own cycle and blood estrogen levels never rising above 400 pmol - a level at which I still experience bothersome symptoms (mostly mood and cognitive related). I am wondering whether adding a small amount of gel might strengthen overall absorption. If anyone has any experience of this and or has heard of this use, I'd love to hear feedback.
Many thanks in advance!
