I'm 54 and had been getting on well with Estrodot 50 and Mirena for over a year then the patch shortage..tried estraderm but they are huge and didn't stick well ! so I swapped to gel, started on 2 pumps probably about 6 weeks ago..
all seemed to be going well, feeling good, then last Fri thought ummm maybe I feel a bit meh, not sleeping as well, waking with a headache so increased gel slowly to 2.5 then 3, still not great then last night, wam awake at 5.30 hot sweat and palpitations
luckily I do have a few spare patches so stuck a 50 on, fingers crossed it will kick in quickly as I have forgotten how horrible I used to feel
Is it still difficult to source Estrodot ? anybody had this effect swapping from patches to gel ? Thanks
