Headaches and Oestrogel

3 replies

Have just started HRT, was prescribed 1 pump of oestrogel daily & on days 14-26 2 utrogestan tablets per day.

I started the gel on day 1 of my cycle & have been doing it for the last 6 days, since day 2 I’ve been getting a bad headache & now it’s terrible. I adjusted the time of doing the gel from the morning to the night yesterday and in the gap the headache finally went but have woken this morning with a migraine, anyone else get severe headaches from the gel alone? I’m going to have to stop as can’t work like this :(

You might need a change of oestrogen. Get back on to the GP.

Hi how did you get on?

Sorry! The headaches settled down and now have none at all. The HRT has been helping with everything so glad I persisted
