Anyone used topical estrogen?

Anybody used topical estradiol? What were effects? Interested in sense of well being and libido that may have been effected

I'm very sensitive to high estradiol (anything >35), especially the classic negative effects on well being. However, in the rare instances that my estradiol is low, I've definitely used topical estradiol cream. It fixes my low estradiol symptoms, also related to well being, in very short order.

Regarding libido, I'm not sure my estradiol levels really affect that. My desire for sex is pretty much constant no matter what. However, my ability to get and maintain an erection, and quality of orgasm is greatly impacted when estradiol is either high or low.

I did. I used it because I was dropping my testosterone dose and I started getting achy joints. The topical E did reduce my achy joints. I did not notice any difference in well being or libido.
