I wasn’t absorbing anything from both eostregel and patches and I’d been on HRT for two years. I was on Evorel 75. An estradiol test showed I was on a miserable 81 pmo/L My GP was at a loss as what to do. I’m on a medication which is known to affect HRT too, which doesn't help.
In desperation I sought the advice of a private menopause specialist, who suggested Lenzetto spray, which has been life changing for me, though I know it does get mixed reviews. It’s still estradiol and body identical, like the oestrogen in patches and oestregel, but in spray form and placed on the inner forearm, which for me, must be making the difference. It’s also available on NHS and I get prescriptions via NHS now. I think it’s one of their most expensive HRT though. My estradiol blood test results are now 480 pmo/L. I now sleep like I used to and getting over 7 hrs, which is life changing in itself. Before Lenzetto, I was averaging 3-4 due to raging insomnia.
