Within the first 24 hours of switching to this in GEL form I noticed an immediate difference as did my extremely patient husband. I am pleased to say that after a few months I have not experienced any side effects. This has been a roller coaster ride for me as Ive spent the years since my hysterectomy seeking a solution for my HRT issues! HAPPY JOY JOY! Ask me and I will be happy to share! Anyone going through this will understand why I am jumping up and down with joy!

I've only been on it for a little while, but it seems to be better than anything else. I have less hot flashes, but I'm still rather moody. But that may not be the menopause/hormones. I may just be a mean person...

I am on 2 1mg patches. It seems to be working better than the other doses I've been on.

Estrace works well for me as long as my doctor allows me to take it. I have been on it for nearly 15 years after a hysterectomy 15 yrs ago. I have a sensitive liver and trying to find a new treatment that won't hurt my liver, any ideas????
