I was experiencing headaches, irritability , hot flashes and night sweats in October . My doctor prescribed the estrogel (1 pump) with 100 mg of progesterone. It took all of the symptoms away within 3 weeks. A few weeks ago I noticed some blonde facial hair. When I called the pharmacy the pharmacist said that the estrogel will stimulate hair growth .

You are only putting back in your body what natures taken away. Some people need to up the dose and certain negative effects will go.

Anything I occasionally now feel could be put down to the illness combined with the fact I also have hyperthyroidism. This product combined with one a day progesterone tablets. | This has worked well for me, I was prepared to try anything and give it at least 3 months now I'm educated enough to know thyroxine was not a quick fix. It takes time. This however took a week, hot flashes stopped, sleep and mood improved. I am starting to feel more myself. More confident, less brain fog. I am terrified to go back to how I was feeling and I am so appreciative that we have this medication. | F | 47 | 7 weeks 2 pumps 1X day | 9/7/2020 | 4 | 2 Yr post op Hysterectomy Menopause | Pulse a little up and down at times but early days.
