I'm just on my second day of oestrogel and curious to know how long before other felg the effects?

I know literature says a few weeks or up to three months - but really just curious to know others anecdotal experience?

What I really want help with is crushing fatigue so am hoping that is one of the first things to pick up 😁

Thanks!

Mine took a good 8 weeks to settle down, and up to 12 weeks is normal. Stick with it though. I'm feeling so much better overall

3 weeks for me - it was miraculous!

Oh thanks both. I've got a friend who says it changed her life in six weeks. I have high hopes!

Four weeks I started feeding better by eight I felt like my old self again but sadly for me it took a further nine months to get the dosage right. But I started off with patches a couple of different brands but once I was given the gel I’d finally found the perfect combination.
