    Hi Kal, why don't you try 3 pumps a day of the Estrogel? My gp told me that you can go up to 4 pumps each day.

    Good luck with it x

      Hi, I'm on 3 pumps a day of Estrogel, it really worked for me. Also had 3 therapy sessions. Sleep really well now. Check with GP about increasing the dose, it's all about getting the balance right . X

      Hi Looloo, I'm on 3 pumps of Estrogel and take utrogesten for 7 days each month. This was prescribed by a Professor of Gynaecology, I think it may vary for individuals x
