I’m on the synthetic form of HRT I’ve tried the gel and progesterone tablets but one didn’t agree with me I’m not sure which one so I’ve been put back to my tablet form by my doctor I’m currently waiting for a appointment at the nhs menopause clinic as I’m absolutely shattered come 3 o’clock I’m stiff in the mornings and no libido. My question is I have some Estrogel left a few bottles do you think it would be ok to apply some of the gel in the afternoon just to top up my oestrogen to keep me going until my appointment!!!

If you have meno symptoms (tiredness can have many causes) then it should be OK to top up as long as you have sufficient progesterone or it isn't too long until your appointment. Gel is supposed to last 24 hours though so you could use it in the morning and still benefit in the afternoon. You could ask for testosterone for libido.
