Hi Sammiejane
Thanks for asking. I'm finding it quite difficult actually.   I've been feeling really sedated which I believe is the utrogestan and am not sure if I can carry on if this continues. Also with this I'm feeling quite depressed which is something I hoped it would help with. I also seem to be putting on weight which I dont need. On the plus side there has been an improvement in my joints which were really painful before. I suppose it's still early days as only 2 weeks. I've tried 1.5 pumps of gel today to see if that helps.

Hi!
I've recently noticed a faint lower abdominal linea nigra/brown line....I started on 2 pumps of Oestrogel about 3 months ago so I'm presuming it's because of that???
I had a very obvious line when I was pregnant 16 years ago.....so better not be bloody pregnant!!😱😫
I've had a Mirena coil in for nearly 12 months with no problems and the Oestrogel has really helped with flushes/mood/insomnia so can live with the brown line👍🏼
Just wondering if this is a common side effect??🤔
Thanks girls🥰

Following this with anticipation! Started my patches last week and so far so good, only one headache which would have been every day on the tablets!

Violetbat how is the progesterone going?? :)
