aah interesting. I've been on Oestrogel (with a mirena) since May this year and within a few months it had worked wonders on the early LS/VA that a year of dermovate etc hadn't really helped. However just over a month ago I noticed that my new bottle had different packaging, but the ingredients were still the same (well on the label stuck over the original one) so I thought nothing of it and carried on as usual. Within about 2 weeks I start with a massive flare down below, my sleep is worse, my hips feel stiff and I am increasingly irritable. I recall saying to my partner that it feels like my oestrogen has taken a sudden dip.
Newest bottle my normal Oestrogel, within a week things have already started to improve.
I'm seeing all these posts, and yes understand that there shouldn't be any difference in the product but there clearly is something not so effective for many of us with the Oestrodose.
I will be opening all future packaging the in chemist to check what I've actually been given
