Posting here for traffic. Started oestrogel & utrogestan only last night. For background I'm 46, periods bang on 28 days still, no hot flashes yet but exhaustion, low mood and a little light rage Grin. Was so excited to start this combo thinking I'd get more energy and be able to shift the stone I'd put on over last year. I'm a lightweight - get drunk on a glass of wine and have had no stronger drugs in my lifetime than the occasional short course of antibiotics, not even the pill. Last night I administered 2 pumps of gel in my mid thighs and one 100mg tablet and today I feel utterly out of body. Really not with it in work Teams meetings (wfh) a weird pain in my groin which is now radiating down the inside of my right leg and a feeling that my period is about to start (explode) any min but my last period ended last week. My lower abdomen feels so heavy. Am I intolerant to the ingredients (is that even a thing?)? Did you have any weird & wonderful symptoms from the get-go? Did you persevere and then start feeling the benefits? Should I not even entertain another dose tonight given a busy day at work tomorrow? Gah! What to do??
