It's normally prescribed as part of hrt. I had no issues with it at all. I've only moved from the gel because I'm autistic and couldn't cope with it due to my sensory issues.

I've used Estrogel for 2 years and no issues. Not for endo but for peri. It's a standard part of HRT.

I'm 54 so for hrt. I'm presuming that you've been put onto medication to mimic menopause to help alleviate your symptoms?

My endo was treated with laser, then Mirena coil over 20 years ago. It was fully effective and didn't come back.

yes I have exactly that.. and the gel is for symptoms as I’ve had the injection…
