« on: May 29, 2024, 02:06:42 PM »

Sorry loves I know this is the similar post.....but I wanted to know if too many pumps gel caused anyone to have more physical anxiety feelings?

Hi it may not be the amount you are using, but the fact that you are changing doses.  This will cause fluctuations in levels which will cause symptoms.

Are you still taking the combined pill too?  x

In that case, be guided by your MS or GP. So many changes so quickly.

Hi are you taking extra progesterone? There’s unlikely to be enough in the pill to protect the endometrium when you are adding extra oestrogen.

As Nas has said, you’ve made a lot of changes in a short time and this is likely to be increasing your symptoms.

Morning Vicky61 - it would be helpful to many members if you replied to those queries put your way.  Also, do read through all your threads; make notes which will enable U 2 C how shared experiences might help you come to terms with your symptoms.
