When to use gel

[ohyesohyesoh]

I've been on two pumps of gel, which I use first thing in the morning. ( I also have a coil) but the last few weeks I've noticed I'm waking up and my fingers ( and other joints) are very achey.
This was one of my main symptoms before I started taking HRT.
Do you think it's worth continuing with one pump of gel in the morning & then one at night ? Would it make any difference to my achey joints, sort of time delay effect-Spread the benefits ?
Or maybe I need more gel any advice please ?

I’ve always put mine on in after a shower in the evening. Never crossed my mind to spread the dosage

I put mine on in the evening (also have a mirena coil). It could be you need an increased dose - after a bit I had to increase mine as my night sweats got worse again)
