Hi, I was wondering if we could start a reference doc post for Oestrogel for facts and any research findings info rather than personal experience (then maybe others for Vagifem etc).
I find it difficult to trawl through all previous posts to see if the info I want is there as we are all prone to going off on tangents and this useful info gets lost. For newbies who just want info I think this would be a good starting point and we won't all need to keep asking the same questions. What do you think?
So for example:
Oestrogel...
- In the form of Estrogel, Oestrodose and Sandrena gel
- 1-4 pumps per day, increase gradually by half a pump
- each pump rubbed on approx 1 hand size surface area
- dries in 10 minutes, then dress
- absorbs in 2 hours
- 1 pump = equivalent to 25 patch, 2 pumps = a 50 patch, 3 pumps = 75 patch, 4 pumps = 100 patch
- rub onto outside arms or inside thighs
- Progesterone aldo needed if you still have a womb or history of endometriosis (in some cases)
Please add away as there is lots I don't know I'm sure, or links to any studies x
