This is more of a moan than anything else - I’ve been in HRT gel (2 pumps) for a month now. I feel much better in myself, better mood, more energy, less anxious, also all my aches & pains have gone - these happened within a week of taking it.
But my night sweats have actually increased so I’m thinking I need more gel so I’ve upped it to 3 pumps. Omg there’s just so much of it - I don’t know about just my inner mid thigh, there’s enough for the whole thigh! And then the gel that ends up all over my hands just gets washed away.
I know I’ve not given it very long - there’s a reason I was given 3 months worth. I’m just impatient as I’m sick of waking up every night all hot & sweaty.
Dr said if HRT helps my symptoms after 3 months I can move into a patch. I’m just wondering if people find their absorption better or worse with a patch? It would better than this palaver with gel every morning.
