Is three pumps estrogel a lot?

Hi all

I'm currently on two pumps estrogel a day (no progesterone as have had a hysterectomy). I'm feeling pretty shit so thinking of going to three a day. However seeing GP almost impossible.

If three pumps is still a run of the mill dose I'm tempted to do it anyway. What do you think?

Thanks in advance xxx

I’m on 4 pumps!
The GP did say my dose was particularly high, and it’s closely monitored but for now, anything less just doesn’t touch the sides.

I think 3 is normal. I was on 2 and increased it to 3. All seems to be well (or at least, better)

3 is fine. Going up from 2 to 3 made a big difference for me and my GP said that it was absolutely normal to use 3 pumps.

I’m on 3, my friend is on 4.

I’m on 3. That seemed to be standard when I discussed with my GP.

Thanks everyone. @OttersAreMySpiritAnimal I'm hoping this will be the same for me. Xxx

Can I ask if you’ve ever tried reducing it because I was on two, reduced it to one and that made an enormous difference to me.
