This medicine did nothin for me except make me gain weight. My symptoms are the same if not worse than before and I gained 10 pounds. It wasn’t until I saw this site that I realized the likelihood that Divigel was causing my recent weight gain. Stopping this medicine immediately.

I am still on divigel but notice minor hot flashes again at night and first thing in the morning.

I have taken Divigel for about 6 years or more. I'm now 62. I find it's a life saving medication for me. I had zero energy and terrible mood swings during menopause. Also bladder prolapse. It helped in all those areas. It does make breasts ache sometimes but I can't find any other problem with it. I use natural progesterone cream which is highly recommended to take with estrogen. I started at the lowest dosage of Divigel and over a year or so worked up to 1 mg. My hormone level was 5, the lowest a person can go. I can't function without Divigel. I believe other women that have problems with Divigel might be because there are other issues going on that is being caused by menopause. Menopause (lack of hormones) causes a ton of conditions. I experienced higher (borderline) cholesterol too but I don't blame Divigel for that. Actually, my blood pressure is lower since menopause. Divigel gave me enough energy to function again but my blood pressure remains the same. I think a fear factor in taking hormones nowadays contribute to symptoms while some start taking Divigel and that appears to be Divigel's fault which is false. It does take time for the hormone levels to rise with Divigel so don't get discouraged too soon. For me, I could feel a difference fairly quickly because my hormone levels were so low. But maximum benefits take about 3-6 months. I feel Divigel is one of the safest ways to take hormones because its through the skin, straight to the blood stream and doesn't have to be processed through other organs. Also, too many hormones aren't good either. I believe Divigel delivers just the right amount for me. Great product!

I am 50 yrs old and in post-menopause. I have been on Divigel .25mg for about 1 month. I has helped me with my mood swings, but I till have hot flashes and some night sweats. The one thing I have noticed is I am gaining weight around my middle, which I didn't have that before. I eat healthy and exercise. I am experiencing more body aches and my joints hurt more. I do take a natural progesterone cream and my next visit with the Doc and considering about going off this and trying a natural estrogen product. I have a family history of heart attacks, strokes and high cholesterol. I do have high cholesterol, but thank goodness I have lot bp. So, we'll see!
