Hi ladies I might be being a bit numb here but to use the gel do you just press a little or do you have to press right down ??xx

[Daisydot]

It's not a dumb question it's one I wondered about too.there seems to be a big difference in amounts depending how much you depress doesn't there so I agree the confusion.i press it lightly so my blob is about 10p sized but I really don't know for sure either.xx

I pressed all the way down as my understanding was the 'pump' gave a measured dose. 

[Daisydot]

Your right salad but I thought that was an awful lot and I could have covered my whole leg with that amount not just thigh so I didn't press so hard.xx

[crazywomen]

I am just worried if I press right down the bottle will run out??

[Daisydot]

Maybe order your next prescription early then crazywoman so you always have one to hand just in case,it’ll put your mind at rest.x

You need to press pump all the way down to get a full dose or you won't be getting enough.

[Daisydot]

Thanks ladies I'll try again tonight.x

[crazywomen]

Thanks ladies I will try using the correct amount in the morning x

[Daisydot]

I just put my evening dose on there and I pressed right down this time and there wasn't a massive difference in the amount.this is Oestrogel.i found when using oestrodose I did seem to get an awful big blob which was what made me worry.maybe just a dodgy can last time,at least now I know I'm doing the right thing thank you ladies xx

Yes! Definitely press it all the way down as the pump measures the correct dose.

[Dotty]

Just started with oestrogel . Hope I'm doing it right 😕😄

Hi dotty I started with one squirt on my inner thigh in the morning then next day used the other thigh then after 4 weeks I increased to one in the morning and one at night on the same thigh and then next day one in the morning and one at night on the other thigh.im definitely feeling better on the Oestrogel and vagifem combination.good luck xx

[Dotty]

Hi Daisydot I’m using 2 squirts in a morning at moment

Were you advised to do 1 in morning and 1 at night ?

[Daisydot]

It was from previous posts I read on here dotty that I thought spreading it over the day would keep me level and it's definately working for me,on the patches I was getting big dips after a couple of days but I'm feeling pretty good on the gel.i also felt kind of flat on the oestrodose so searched out the proper Oestrogel and no longer have that flat feeling.hope this makes sense to you.xx
