Hi, I've only been on HRT since Mid January & the first patch I tried was Estradot. I've got sensitive skin with eczema related allergies so I was a bit wary about using patches. So I tried a few to see how my skin coped. I was fine with these patches & my hot moments calmed down. But since I've tried to get more, my pharmacist hasn't been able to get any Estradot. I liked them as they stayed attached, and were small, as I'm still recovering from a hysterectomy in November, I have scars all over my stomach, so being small these patches were good.
Since I've not been able to get more, my pharmacist tried me on Fem 7, which was a 7 day one, but my skin couldn't cope with it being on for 7 days, and also it was so much bigger, so after the first one stayed on for 7 days, I went through 4 in 2 days, as they wouldn't stick. I'm not back on another twice weekly one, but it's as big as the fem 7 patches, and although I'm feeling better as they are staying on, I don't like the bigger ones. Really hoping the supplier gets them sorted out.
