I have been on Divigel now for about 7-8 months. It has tremendously helped out my hot flashes. I have also been on 100 mg of progesterone which I recently ran out of. I am still on divigel but notice minor hot flashes again at night and first thing in the morning. Im a little worried about the serious side effects of being on Divigel so I may just go strictly on Progesterone alone. Progesterone h ... Show Full Comment

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!

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!

I started early premenopause at 39 and had serious symptoms such as heavy night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia and uncontrollable mood swings. I spent 2 years miserable, until my OBGYN prescribed Divigel. He started me on the 0.05 dose, which right away relieved most symptoms but I still had problems with hot flashes. I have been on 0.1 dose for the past 4 years now and I have no more symptoms. ... Show Full Comment

I started early premenopause at 39 and had serious symptoms such as heavy night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia and uncontrollable mood swings. I spent 2 years miserable, until my OBGYN prescribed Divigel. He started me on the 0.05 dose, which right away relieved most symptoms but I still had problems with hot flashes. I have been on 0.1 dose for the past 4 years now and I have no more symptoms. For me, taking Divigel was life changing and I don't know of any visible side effect (other than the fact that every time I tried to stop the treatment all the symptoms come back within a few days). I will try to lower the doses eventually but for the time being, I am happy I don't have go thru the menopause symptoms again...
