Another question about the impact of oestrogel

Apologies for all these qs, but itโ€™s all so new. Watch out for me when I start the utrogestan ๐Ÿ˜‚

im on day 7 of oestrogel and am definitely struggling with bad headaches following an epic migraine. But Iโ€™ve also notice that my skin looks healthier and less grey and I feel a lot less down and irritable in terms of my mood. Is this just a fluke because itโ€™s also sunny, or could 7 days of oestrogel already have had an impact like this?

It's the sun

Truthfully, it's far too soon.

I had a break from HRT for a few weeks and it was only then that I noticed changes (not with my skin.)
