query re patch
« on: October 20, 2014, 06:18:45 PM »

Hi everyone

I have estradot 25 and on the patch it says 24hrs, yet doc told me to change it twice a week, why does it say 24hrs?

Also, how you use the patch?
Do you peel it and stick it to (in my case upper thigh)
I don't want to wreck a patch cos I don't know what I am doing

Thanks in advance  ;)

Generally on the box it gives you change days. You choose what days suit you. I do Wednesday and Saturday, but you will have the days set out. It does mean that one patch is on four days and the other three but that's the way it goes.
I take mine off before my shower in the morning, then I don't use any moisturises and then I get dried. I replace the patch about half an hour later. Then I'm sure my skin is completely dry.
I peel and stick it on. Never in the same place, I use alternate sides keeping clear of knicker line.

Ignore the 24 hour thing, don't know what that is all about.

Have you decided how to use the utrogestan...orally or vaginally ?

It says "Estradot 25 24 hours" because it delivers 25 micrograms of estradiol over each 24 hour period. It can be confusing.
