Oestrogel pump

I’ve just been prescribed Oestrogel in a pump following my hysterectomy. My initial dose is 2 pumps either on my upper arms or inner thigh. I’ve used it for the first time this morning and put it on my inner thigh. 2 pumps seems an awful lot for one area - am I ok to use 1 pump on both inner thighs or does it need to be 2 pumps in the same place? Currently walking round looking like John Wayne waiting for it to dry, it’s taking so long!

Yes, it’s fine to do one pump on one thigh and the second on the other. All the best x

I do 2 pumps and do one on each upper arm.
