Tried

Estradiol Gel

After 10 weeks on Estradiol Gel, I'd say it made a modest difference to my multiple menopausal symptoms. Hard to tell if it was this or other lifestyle changes. It's OK but I expected more.

Tried

Estradiol Gel

Estradiol Gel has been a genuine turning point for my hot flashes and night sweats. I noticed things started to shift slightly fairly quickly. I was sleeping through the night over the following weeks. I'm glad I tried it.

Tried

Estradiol Gel

I tried Estradiol Gel for multiple menopausal symptoms but the results were mixed. the worst of the symptoms eased, but the side effects made it hard to continue. Not a miracle but not nothing either.

Tried

Estradiol Gel Mirena IUS

Using the Mirena for the progestogen component means I don't have to remember a second pill. The insertion was painful but brief. I had irregular bleeding for about 3 months which was frustrating. But once that settled, this combination has been excellent — stable mood, no hot flashes, good sleep. My GP says the Mirena also provides contraception which is important as I'm still perimenopausal.
