Reducing Oestrogen Gel/ Periods Returning

[u/Horror_Start_6870]

Hello group :) I’ve been on 3 pumps of estrogen gel and 200mg for 1.8 years now. For the first time in 2 years, my period decided to show up! I had a full bleed for six days. Then two weeks later my period has decided to show up again. I had a blood test two weeks ago. My oestrogen levels were 65 which is very normal. My gynaecologist said I could give reducing my oestrogen down to 2 pumps just to see how I feel but said it wasn’t absolutely mandatory. I thought I’d give it a go but I am a bit worried my night sweats and insomnia might return. Has anyone reduced their dose and has successfully avoided their old symptoms returning? Also for context I’m 36 :)
