A quick question. I have searched the Forum but can not find a direct string on this.
I have the Mirena for Progesterone which, fingers crossed after nearly two months seems ok. I have been using Estsrogel, 1.5 to 2 pumps. I really want to move to patches as I find the gel a real bind. I have been fine on the 2 pumps of gel and the Mirena.
My Gynea prescribed estredot 50, but there is not any (apparently), so the GP has given me Elleste Solo 40. I started it today puting it on at the same time I normallyu put my gel on this morning, but by this evening I was feeling as if I had forgotten to take my estrogen.
This evening I have added one pump of gel and I feel more relaxed again.
My question is on the dosage. 40mcg seems a very low dose compared with the 1.5mg I would have had in the gel. It does not make sense.
I am obviously concerned that the 40mcg is not enough. How long does it atke to adjust to the patch vs the gel. Should it be instant?
Thanks for any experiences.
