Hello all, 

I've been on estrogel for 4 months after the insertion of a Mirena coil during a hysteroscopy to investigate heavy periods. I'm 51. I told the Dr preforming the hysteroscopy that last time I had the Mirena, my sex drive disappeared. She suggested the Gel. I've been using 2 pumps a day. Anyway fast forward to last week, I noticed a very tender area in my upper boob. I had a feel and found a very large, strange shaped, hard lump. It almost felt square. I had a clear mammogram about 3 months ago so I didn't panic but I made an appointment to see the GP that day. He confirmed there was a lump on one side and said he'd refer me to the breast clinic though he said he found the clear mammogram reassuring. Anyway, I had a feeling the lump was connected to my estrogel so I stopped using it. About 3 days later, the lump has shrunk, though my husband swears it has vanished. It was very large before. I think because its still tender a little for me, I am thinking I can still feel a bit of bumpines though a fraction of its original size. I think I'm going to keep the breast clinic appointment though I wondered if I should inform my GP about what's happening first?
