Gel conversion confusion

I am on a 0.05 Dotti patch. It seems not a single pharmacist or even doctor is sure what the equivalent is in Divigel .1% solution. I was given 1mg of the .1% solution but am terrified to use that much because when I switched to a 0.075 patch my entire body felt like a pressure cooker ready to explode. I also had a few migraines. BP felt sky high but it wasn’t. I can’t go through that again. 1mg is for sure more than 0.075.

Gel or patch?

I am up to 0.075 estrogen patch and 100 mg of micronized progesterone. I upped my estrogen patch from 0.05 to 0.075 on 7/21. When I change my patch I feel way more anxious, get adrenaline surges when I wake up and with the most recent increase mild headaches, breast pain and my ears ring. Thinking of switching To the gel due to a friend’s success. Sleep has improved but the other stuff is scaring me. Anyone use both and can give an opinion? Thanks!

Protrusion in skin on breasts after 70 pound weight loss

I have lost 70 pounds and my breasts are sagging like someone who is 90 years old. I feel like I can see protrusions in my breasts. When I lay down and do an exam I do not feel any obvious lumps. Just the normal ropey like tissue I have always had and I do have dense breasts. Could the protrusions be from the loss of fat and shifting of tissue? I am scheduled for a routine mammogram Monday but just found this today and really scared! Thanks for any insight!
