First week

Hi end of first week and wondering if I should be upping the pumps already to 3 oestrogel as yesterday was my normal ovulation day and today I just cannot get it together- awful brain fog and lethargy and mood dip. Which is what I've been experiencing off the HRT.
Do you think I should just try it? I'm worried that this isn't going to improve when I start the Ustrogen in a few days time. I felt really sparky first few days in so this does feel a bit here we go again. Help!

No. A week is nothing. Keep going with 2 pumps for longer. I'd ignore ovulation days etc and wait longer to see how you feel after 3 weeks at least. You could extend the estrogen only by a few days to see how that feels. (When I started it I was on a very long cycle of many weeks with estrogen only at Dr's instructions, by the way.)

Thank you 😊 Whst would extending the gel
Mean? Delaying day 15? I started after my period ended if you see what I mean
So I guess this will eventually change my cycle

Do you think it's normal @JinglingHellsBells to feel worse? Brain fog, no energy, nausea, mild headache? I am not feeling even as good as I was before... My GP not available this week so I feel stuck and not sure what to do. I can't carry on like this.
