Cut my patch in desperation but spotting already
« on: January 20, 2018, 11:40:34 AM »

Seriously I don't think I can take much more, I don't. I was going along nicely on my Evorel Conti but I had spotting each month. So had hysteroscopy which was done wrong, so no results actually. But from then my body has gone crazy, so hormonal so I came to the conclusion I needed to change and the Drs appointment is Tuesday.
Yesterday I cut my patch in half in desperation as anxiety was crazy, plus I have other health issues too dragging me down.
Today spotting starting, I'm so tearful I feel like I'm 16 again. That damn hysteroscopy wrecked my status quo.
I can't take much more of this, I really can't.

That's awful Sarai, I too had spotting and a period on a full patch of Evorel Conti.
When I cut the bugger in half, it took about a week to settle down.
Nothing after that at all.

Hi Sarai - I think you did say you already had a bit of spotting on the full patch and did you also say you had a slightly thickened womb lining? If you had not yet properly settled on the 50 mcg patch dose then a reduction in the progestogen cvould cause the spotting and you may get a bit more bleeding - or it might have happened anyway as it is such a short time since reducing the patch? or - like Ronsmum - it might eventually stop!

Hang in there until your doc appointment and hopefully together you can come up with a type of HRT and dose that will eventually prevent all the problems you've been having and also protect your bones which is what you are wanting....

Thank you Hurdity for tirelessly answering all my silly questions.
