Hello Ladies & thank you for taking the time to read my woes & reply!
Thanks Gnatty, the bloating has actually been really uncomfortable as well as unsightly, but I certainly agree that it is the lesser evil when compared to how bad last night was for both me & my poor husband!
Thanks Kathleen, I tried the patches before the gel but I didn't absorb well do have found the gel much better. I hope you feel better soon too - I have seen on here that some ladies need a high level of oestrogen for improved mood and if my level is really 1300 then I would say for me that's true too.
I agree with you all on the blood results and more and more am inclined to just want to go by my symptoms.
Thanks ATB, when my specialist wrote to my GP, she advised me to bein the T and reduce the E at that point. This must be about 2 months ago now but yes admittedly in that time I've come down to 3 pumps, back to 4 and now back to 3 again.
My GP has requested my review be sooner but I've heard nothing yet.
If tonight is bad then I think I'll have to go back to 4 pumps and await my review. I certainly can't function with those stressful sleepless nights.
I'll update when I have more to tell. In the meantime many thanks to you all,
