Daisydot... yes it does. I'm swapping from tablets that didn't do much for me.

I got Oestrogel in a turquoise and white can. Got it in Asda and they said they are not allowed to give you cheaper one if it says Oestrogel on prescription.

That's great information dotty.thank you for sharing that.xx good luck x

hi ladies how long did it take for the hot flushes to ease i have only been on it since monday but hot flushes seem to be getting worse

[Dotty]

Crazy woman it took 3 weeks for my day flushes to go when I was taking tablets

[Daisydot]

I was originally on Premarin and the flushes went in a couple of weeks and I've changed from Premarin to patches to oesrtrogel over the last 5/6 months now and flushes have not made an appearance again.mines were moments apart all day/night the bed was soaking wet every morning and I also stank,it's been a marvel for me to be rid of that.good luck xx

[crazywomen]

Thanks ladies i am really looking forward to having no hot flushes fingers crossed not getting much sleep because of this xx

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

[Daisydot]

Good luck optimist I hope it works for you I actually prefer it. I've already got soaked 4 times today so no running for me lol xx
