Hi Donna,
I'm in a similar situation to you, i started on 1 pump of Estrogel in March this year and after 2 weeks on it I felt 16 again. Ive been lucky in that I've never had a hot flush but I was getting awful headaches which were lasting up to a week, i was exhausted from about 2 in the afternoon but couldnt sleep through the night and feeling very down and anxious. All this disappeared but then after a few weeks it all came back so I upped my dose to 2 pumps. All good after a few weeks but the symptoms started again so I gave it a while longer but then upped it to 3 pumps. In July the chemist gave me Estrodose rather than Estrogel which I couldnt get on with so Ive been back on Estrogel now for about 6 weeks and this last week Im feeling shattered again early afternoon. I dont know whether its temporary and is normal to have a bad week or if i need to up it to 4. My GP surgery is not the best, ive requested blood tests a few times but they keep telling me no point, so since my initial tests showing FSH levels of 70 in March I have no idea where I am. Great advise from Bring Me Sunshine, i might just get in contact with Heather Currie too. Sending hugs and best wishes x
