Hello all,
I'm trying to work out if oestrogel dose needs to increase as you progress through menopause.
At some times during the month I get very tired and particularly if I do new stuff. Today for example I got exhausted quite quickly looking at airnbn adverts. I was researching on how I'd write my advert and how much I should price the room. Similarly last week I got tired after an hour scrubbing. My physical strength doesn't last long. I'm hoping to work part time as an accountant and also do 1 airbnb room. I gave myself an extra pump half way during the day and it seemed to make a difference until it wore off. Do other people up their dose sporadically like this and is it a solution to sagging physical and mental energy levels?
I got symptoms about 6 years ago aged 47 and went on HRT 5 years ago. Fem 2/10 stopped being effective after 4.5 years so I changed to Oestrogel which is a lot better. I take 3 pumps (2 in morning and 1 at night). I also went on 7mg of mitzrapine last November mainly for sleep. I sleep really well now.
