Ive just started using oestrogel, gp prescribed after fitting Mirena (that bit hurt!) I fully depress the pump down once for each dose (it says firmly down). At the mo and only 4 days off patches I already feel that I'm absorbing the gel much better than the patches, currently using 2 pumps in morn 1 at night as was on 75-100 patches to feel any benefits.
Who knows maybe will be able to use just 2 after a while. Feel a bit tender/bloated and have a bit of backache but think that's the Mirena and initial side effects I hope will be over ridden by the oestrogel eventually.
I so hope this works for me as I'm running out of options ( my body doesn't like progesterone!).
Have a good weekend ladies I'm just going to attempt a run in the rain 🏃🏻♀️☔️ Xx
