Hi there. very interested to see your post - and would like to hear how you go on with this or what you decide to do...
Just 10 days ago I decided to try a small (1/2) pump of estrogel alongside my Evorel 50 patch, and that afternoon I had about 4 hours of feeling normal, human again - something I had forgotten I could feel!!!
Excited by that, I thought I would try and move onto the gel long term so as I was due to change my patch the next day I used 2 pumps of gel - the next morning I felt dreadful, dizzy, sick, unbalanced - tried again the next day too but resorted back to my 50 patch 72hrs later, as very unwell but still using 1/2 pump of gel - since then I have had 6 better than previous days so think I will continue for the time being with patch and gel.
Previously I tried to move to the estrogel alone - 2 attempts 6 months apart, but felt so wired, strange with increased anxiety etc even after trying it for 8 weeks - I am not sure the gel in larger amounts agrees with me, but suspect I should try to move on to it completely. Would be interesting to know if other people have had the extreme wired, stressed, unbalanced, unwell feeling on the estrogel? Do I just need to ride it out? or does it upset some people?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
