Estrogel nausea, will it pass?

I started taking Estrogel a week ago and have gradually started feeling more and more nauseous until now I feel like I have a tummy bug.

Is this normal and will it pass as my body adjusts to it?

I started it on the 10th May. I felt like I had terrible hay fever for about 10 days - whole head was stuffy, sore sinuses (I don't have hay fever).

Maybe coincidental, but I don't think so. I feel much better now, so I really do think it was an adjustment period to the medication.

Thank you @littlematchstickgirl I've had a sinus type headache too 😬 It is helping already with my peri symptoms so I don't want to quit yet, I just want to know if this is usual and if I should ride it out.

You sound very similar to me, I think (for me at least), it was the body adjusting to the medication. Stick with it, and if it's already helping, that's a good sign! Good luck :-)
