So I switched from patches to oestrogel about eight weeks ago and honestly I keep going back and forth in my head about which was better. Not asking anyone to tell me what to do, just... curious whether other people have thoughts about their own switch? The patches were fine except I kept forgetting the change day and then wondering whether that explained a rough few days, so I started writing the change day on my phone calendar with a little note about how I slept that night. Three weeks of that and there was definitely something in it for me. The gel feels more fiddly somehow but I like being able to adjust the timing. Sleep is still all over the place if I'm honest. I've got a review coming up and I want to actually describe the sleep thing properly this time, not just say "not great" and have her nod and move on. Last time I said I was tired and she suggested a blood test. I need better words. How many flushes, how broken the sleep actually is, does it take an hour to get back off or three. That kind of thing. Anyway. Just musing really. If you've had a patch-to-gel journey and want to share how it went for you I'm all ears 😊
