Hi all
I mentioned to my gp on my check in that i was suffering from very sore breasts and huge bloating, she suggested i drop from 2 pumps of gel to one to see if it helps.
That was a week ago , those symptoms have gone but im incredibly anxious and cant stop crying.this is what i was like before i started the hrt.i hate this feeling :(
Could the decrease in the gel be causing this?

Yes.

Try increasing from 1 pump very slowly- 1 pump and a dab of more (just don't press the plunger right down.) Build up slowly over 3-4 weeks till you get back to 2 pumps.
