I have just started the Evorel 50 patches, two a week. I have the Mirena fitted too.   I was diagnosed through my symptoms as peri menopause I am 43 so it's a little early.  I started the patches two weeks ago because of out of character low mood and pms symptoms.  For the past week I have been feeling an off and on a mild burning sensation around where my left ovary should be which is something I have not felt before. It comes and goes all day.  Do you have any advice... Could this be side effect of the estrogen that should settle down.   I do not see my doctor again for 6 weeks to discuss how I feel taking the estrogen.   I can go back any time but do not want to unless necessary.

It's never early  what ever GPs etc. believe.  HORMONES    ........ read the menus left of screen, browse round ........

Hi TraceyTracey

Just wanted to say 

I haven't come across that sensation so sorry I can't help with that. All I can say is that it does take a while for your body to acclimatise to the extra oestrogen - and you have only been on the patches for 6 weeks, but if the feeling persists and becomes painful then perhpas a phone call or brief visit to your doctor would be in order. If you have to go back sooner, then hopefully your doc is a menopause specialist or you can go to someone in the practice who is?

Thank you... I will wait for a while.. It's not unbearable. I have been on the patches two weeks tomorrow... And I do feel a little better mood wise.... But I have been off work this week and having no work stress does help....

I think CLKD probably meant if you don't feel things are right it's never too soon to go back instead of waiting your six weeks.

Hope things settle for you soon.
