Estogel is best applied to the scrotum. Scrotal administration results in much higher estradiol levels than forearm application.
Best of Luck to You.

Better drop it down to 1000mg.

I'm unsure if Lara had DVT, I don't think she did. But several members here over the years have had problems with DVT. One required surgery.
I used to get leg cramps so bad that they'd literally knock me off the couch every night and onto the floor it was so bad.

Hello Mittyfloss,
When I was on the higher doses of pm, I would sometimes get headaches, but nothing beyond that.
Out of curiosity, are you planning on switching to HRT completely, or looking to mix HRT with NBE?
I don't have any experience with E gel or patches, only pills and injections.

I did get DVT symptoms for a while, I'm not sure how bad it was. Insane aches in my legs during nights, and I think I had some hotspots too. It went away quickly the moment I stopped taking PM. Later I went back on it for a while on smaller dose and the symptoms never came back, then quickly started convnetional HRT.
