I am also worse on more estrogen. So often on this forum people use high amounts of estrogen, and indeed practitioners prescribe it like that. I’m in Canada and although my practitioner is up to date and knowledgeable, she is was very uncomfortable with me being on three pumps a day of estrogel (although I’m young). It worked out through trial and error that I’m doing much better on a lower dosage, just 1/2-1 pump estrogel. It’s hard to believe many people in the UK are given 3 pumps to start!
