Hi - I am 6 weeks post total hysterectomy (everything including ovaries removed) and I started HRT straightaway -(1mcg sandrena gel daily) but I am not convinced I am getting enough oestrogen based on how I am feeling. I am interested to hear from others where you started off on, or increased to, a higher dose and also whether a testosterone supplement also made a difference?
Many thanks

Hi Joanne, I am 16 weeks post OP, ( everything removed) I'm feeling really well apart from the dreaded hit flushes, started on the lowest dose of everol patches, which initially were good, but due to the shortage of them at the minute my GP prescribed the Gel, i am more in control as she said i can have 2-4 squirts a day, this seems ok in the day but as soon as i get into bed they start. Going back to my GP but if she suggests a testerone supplement i'm refusing due to the possible side effects i.e acne, excessive hair growth. ( I also bought some cooling mist and Gel pillow which ill put in the fridge) hope you get sorted x
