Oestrogel v patches

Gosh, I used four pumps a day for the short time I tried gel.
If you are happy with patches OP why not stick with them?
Less messy and less time consuming.
All methods of taking oestrogen work to deal with tiredness, low energy etc. (though I do not recommend pills). My choice is implants. You get one twice a year and can forget about it for the other 363 days.
Your pharmacist may be able to answer your questions and if not go straight back to your GP.
If they are useless ask to be referred to a menopause clinic.

I think you should be asking your GP these questions really. I have been using Oestrogel since my patches became unavailable. I use one pump daily, after my shower in the morning. I also take a 100mg Progesterone tablet at night.
