stay/change/stop?!

[mattcockhand]

Advice needed please everyone. Need a new prescrip after 3 months & have phone appt today.
Have been on 2 pumps daily of oestrogel, 1 ustrogen tabket at night (56, post menopausal).
Whilst it has helped with my sleep, thats all it has helped with. My boobs are constantly sore & I am bloated which I hate.....
I don't know what to do next! I feel I might be better off just with something to help me sleep at night & low mood but don't know what to ask for!

@Mattcockhand You could try 1 pump of gel.

2 is the 'average' but you don't necessarily need that much.

You could also try swapping to a sequential regime of Utrogestan even just for a couple of months to see if it's that or the estrogen that's causing your other symptoms.

Sequential is 2 capsules for 12 days in a month after which you will have a 'period' about 3 days after the last capsule.

When I was first on HRT my consultant put me on estrogen-only for several weeks (it's safe to do that for a few weeks) to get the gel dose right.

Have a go?

Thanks, Jingling. Appreciate it x
