Hi ladies. Been on one pump Oestrogel for some time now (approx 2 years) but just recently feeling very irritable, tired, hot and grouchy, so decided to up to gel to two pumps (which I believe is the usual starting dose anyway). The reason I've always tried to keep to one pump was that my boobs tend to react to more gel...... they get very swollen, heavy and painful and they're big enough as it is lol, so I can do without all that. Anyway, decided to bite the bullet yesterday and I put on 2 pumps. Today I'm feeling a lot better, mood has improved and I feel much more relaxed. Do you think this must be placebo or could an increase in gel have worked this quickly, do you think??
I'm almost 49, been suffering symptoms for around 4 years but am not sure what my own cycle is up to atm, due to the HRT. I'm on gel plus Utro for 12 nights per month. Many thanks for reading!
