When do you use the gel ?

[DustyLee123]

Coming to the end of my first week on the gel and I’m finding that I’m not tired at night, so not sleeping, had to take an antihistamine the last 2 nights to ensure I slept before work.
I put the gel on at night so it dries while I read. Is this the problem ? Is it using it at night, or is it not the gel ?

I use mine whenever I remember and often at night. It doesn't affect my sleep. Try in the morning?

I take mine after my morning shower. I was told not to take at night as it can disrupt sleep.

I use the gel in the morning and the progesterone before bed. My sleep has definitely improved since taking HRT

I’m going to try and remember to do it after my shower, but I’ve got a feeling I’ll forget a few days !

I also use every morning. After my shower. It's with my deodorant, face cream etc so is easy to remember to do it.

I keep the gel with face stuff and deodorant so it becomes part of that routine, so gel in the morning and Utrogestan at night.

If you look out your clothes at night, or anything you'd usually do in the morning then maybe put the gel where you'd see it. Like with face cream/make up or in drawers with something you'd always wear like underwear or socks etc.
