When do the more dramatic fluctuations stop ? I wish I was just stable so could then fix upon a dose that worked. I know I'm absorbing more oestrogen from the patch as my boobs are slightly achy which never happened even when increased gel to 4 pumps
The only HRT that made my boobs sore was Evorel Conti and I didn't think I absorbed that well at all. I'm certain I got more oestrogen out of oestrogel than patches but without sore boobs.
It must be tickling your oestrogen receptors and getting a reaction of soreness, but does that mean more oestrogen overall, or just that the type of oestrogen being absorbed makes your boobs sore?
For me, the perimenopause was worse than the post meno period, so by the time I was old enough for HRT, I was over the worst of it.
It's a horrible irony that these meds are not licensed for the perimenopause which is when they are needed most imo.
You will probably notice the fluctuations lessen now you are post meno, in general, but there will be good weeks and bad weeks.
Magnesium supplements can help pain if you don't use painkillers, so I believe anyway.
