Jsut that really
Is there a difference between one or the other ?
I m on spray but I m worried that while I felt a definite lift when I started about 2 months ago I think I had a difference

i believe there can be a difference in the way different women absorb estrogen via patches/gel/spray. If you are happy with the spray, but you feel like your symptoms are coming back, it might be that you need a higher dose. Usually we’re prescribed a low starting dose and then tweak it from there.

I'm not sure from an evidence point of view but anecdotally, spray and gel seems far more successful amongst my friends than patch.
