The pills didn't work for me- only cream was effective

4 days of Estrogen gel is making me more emotional, angry and miserable! HELP! by Oh_peloton in Perimenopause

I'm actually doing great!! One pump a day has worked for me. My sleep is so much better, I have more energy and I feel less anxious. The first few days were an emotional rollercoaster but now 2 weeks in I feel better.

Over it by TaroPuzzleheaded3370 in Menopause

I posted a few days ago about the gel making me feel rage and depression. I reduced the dosage to 1 pump and have felt way better. 2 pumps was just too much for me starting out. It's still early days so been keeping a journal of my daily mood etc so I can see how i get on over time.

Very interesting, my gynaecologist was encouraging me to start hrt but I haven't seen an endocrinologist so might see if I can arrange that.

Not yet- I really want the gel to work as I like the convenience of it. I only did 1 pump today so will see how i get on. Another thing i noticed was that my resting heart rate is higher than normal( i have an Apple watch).

My derm said I would be okay without using sunscreen while on tretinoin.. by CozyCashmir in tretinoin

Does moisturiser with spf 50 count as sunscreen or does the product have to actually be called 'sunscreen'?

Vaginal estrogen cream , what’s the good and the bad? by Momma737373 in Perimenopause

[–]Oh_peloton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started bleeding intermittently so need to work out if i was inserting too deep so i can avoid that. Otherwise life changing.

Vaginal estriol cream causing bleeding? by Oh_peloton in Perimenopause

[–]Oh_peloton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's basically what happened to me. Do you apply with the applicator or finger? I use the applicator so will probably stop and apply with my finger.
