Having some sort of hormonal disturbance - had coil out, a bad period, hip bursitis and not sleeping - yay.
Currently taking two pumps of gel and Utrogestan a day- does anyone take more gel? Can’t help feeling my body needs more oestrogen 🤦‍♀️

I use 4 pumps-2 in the morning and 2 at night. The max dose is 4 pumps but know lots of people who use more.

I use two pumps of gel, but as a top up to Evorel 75 patch.

I was on two daily, but symptoms were creeping back, so I do three on Monday/Weds/Friday and I am back to sleeping, no peeing through the night, no more making plans to dispose of dh.

I did three a day for a week and felt all weird and flushy and headachey so that's why the alternate (ish) day set up.

Yes I feel really headachey and joint pains etc
Definitely going to up the dose 👍
