Hello Mary.
![welcomemm :welcomemm:](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/welcomemm.gif)
Good to have you on board though I'm sorry to hear you're suffering with the dreaded anxiety.
I had BSO surgery a year ago (still got uterus)
And I have struggled with absorption, I didnt absorb the gel at all. . I have only tried 2 patches femseven, which I didnt get long enough on to comment as it went out of manufacture just as I started taking it) and estradot. I am not absorbing that well either going by symptoms and blood tests. I have been referred to try the implant now.
So I realy do empathize My non absorption issues are well known on this forum it's frustrating and disheartening. And I know what you mean about blood tests. Mine showed low level and I felt it backed up my symptoms. It seems on the forum each individual might need a different level of eastrogen to meet her needs.
I dont have endometriosis. Do you have to take a lower dose if you have it?
You dont say what patch or dose you are on.
Is there room to increas?
Hope you get lots of replies x
