Estraderm patches or Oestrogel?
I have been using Oestrogel for the last 5 months or so but I have switched to Estraderm MX75 patches as I wasn't noticing any cognitive improvement with the Oestrogel. Does anyone know the difference between patches and Oestrogel? Do patches provide a steadier flow of oestrogen than the gel? The gel

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with these results. I am currently on 100mg Levothyroxine and feeling like all of my Hypothyroid symptoms are coming back. I also take HRT oestrogel and Ultogestan progesterone, I take these much later in the day so as not to affect my Levothyroxine which I take first

Need advice on thyroid and HRT issues
I’ve got a TSH stuck close to 0 for some time now. Currently on 75/100. GPs just want to keep lowering Levo. NHS Endo not interested. However I have a follow up with them later this month. Previous private Endo doesn’t specialise in female hormones and was a private consultant so not attached to a hospital

The Use of Low Dose Estradiol to Ameliorate the Effects of ADT on Bone Mass Density
I have been conducting a long-term n of 1 trial since January 23, 2021 using lose dose estradiol (E2) gel to counteract the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on bone mass density (BMD). I believe that I now have sufficient data to report that low dose transdermal E2, along with exercise and

Utrogestan and endometriosis
Hi I take Utrogestan 100mgs per day and added the Oestrogel but the endo (I have 2 endometriomas in the one ovary they left behind after total hysterectomy in 2019) was flaring up and my IBS was getting out of hand (wind) so do I increase it to 200mgs?? Does anyone know??

Issues with new packaging of Besins Oestrogel?
Besins Oestrogel has a new bottle. Might be a coincidence but since using it my sleep has gotten worse. I’m getting more tingling and numbness in my fingers and toes. Concentration is worse. Also increased issues down below. I don’t know if it’s the concentration of oestradiol being dispensed or maybe

Hopefully On The Right Course
I have dealt with hypothyroidism and surgical menopause for several years. I did really well on oral estrogen and later put on levothyroxine when diagnosed with hypothyroidism and continued to do well until I didn't.

HRT issues - Plus need to hear about experiences with testosterone
I've been on continuous HRT - Utrogestan 100mg, 2 pumps of oestrogel daily and 1 vagirux tablet twice weekly since October 2022. I'm 45. I recently switched from oral to vaginal utrogestan due to depressed mood but that definitely doesn't suit me so I switched back after 11 days. I started to experience
