Anyone had any issues with curvy bottle Oestrogel?

[CorsicaDreaming]

I know there has been a thread on people finding Oestrogel less effective in the changed cylindrical bottles, so I would just like to check - I've just started a new batch of the curvy, flagon-shaped bottles and just wondering if anyone has ever had any problems with those not being as effective? Or no issues with that one, it's only been Oestrogel batches from the cylindrical bottle shape?

Thanks for your help.

The flagon shaped bottle has been the default bottle shape for some time. I've had it for years, but for many years before that it was a cylindrical bottle in white and gold. They have changed a bit over the years. I've not noticed any difference.

That's useful to know, thanks @JinglingSpringbells

Yes, it's changed as with the bottle and manufacture in my opinion. When I'm able to get the bottles on the left of my picture I'm fine. Any others, I have loads of symptoms.

Oestrogel and insides

I SO need to see this just now. I started the curvier white top bottle 3 weeks ago and every single symptom has come back. Sore left boob, night sweats, cramps and struggling to get going in the morning.

I have read various threads here and on Menopause Matters and the statement from Besin but there is something not quite right - certainly for me anyway.

Im basically off hunting for green topped bottles at all local pharmacies. Its very frustrating. I understand the rationale of it being Pharma and being controlled - I work in Health care myself I get it - but those insides look different to me. I think the consistency is different personally. I also know I an super sensitive to Oestrogen which may be a factor.

It’s being discussed on Louise newsons IG page as well lots of women have had issues.

I have the cylinder shaped bottle for the past few months and the amount that gets dispensed each time seems to vary. I don't actually take note of how many days it lasts/total number of pumps. Interesting to see the inside, I wonder if the storage material makes any difference to the effectiveness.

I have been suffering more with fatigue and achy joints, but hadn't considered it could be due to the change in bottle.

Just found this on Instagram 🙂

I've been on 2 pumps per day on the green top cone shaped bottle for 3 years and felt fantastic. This week I got a new prescription which came with the cylinder white top bottles. 3 days after starting on the new batch, I can barely get out of bed in the morning, I have bad headaches, I'm sad and prone to crying with intermittent irritation, my mouth and lips are burning, I'm experiencing mini hot flushes and I feel too exhausted to do anything at all. All the symptoms I started HRT to address in the first place. Maybe this new cylinder shaped bottle is a placebo? Or a very bad batch? I can't do anything about it over Xmas, which, given I'm hosting Xmas Day for our whole family, is going to be absolute hell. But I'll be contacting my doctor and pharmacy immediately after the holidays to try and get some of the green top bottle because I can't go on like this.

I have to use more of the white lid one as it does not dispense as much. My pains in my knees and bones are back and my sleep awful. It does also feel different as more watery. Cannot get the blue lid bottle here either. Wonder will anything be done about it but how could they have different ingredients but something feels off.

I was fine on the first few cylindrical bottles but not the last one - maybe due to being a different batch?
im now on a bottle of Oestrodose in the flagon type bottle and its no better. I Have increased to 3 pumps which has helped a bit but still not back to where I was.
