Hi Ladies

Anyone find patches run out on or just before day 3?? also when I used both estrodot 50 and everol 50 I found when I changed the patch I would get a sudden adrenalin surge/panic attack which left me a quivering wreck. Once the new patch was on a few hours I was ok. This is the reason I gave up on the patch.

Has anyone else experienced this??

Yes I also get this in trying to persever x

Yes that's why I changed to the Oestrogel pump I seem to be able to get better absorption with that and I'm now findin* I'm better on 1.5 pumps a day rather than 2 pumps.seems to be all trial and error with the hrt.good luck xx

Thanks Ladies,

Some times I think it's just me having these problems. It feels like a sudden drop when removing one patch and applying second patch causing a panic attack.

Thank you Wx

Daisydot- just out of interest, why do you think you are better on 1.5 pumps than 2?

I've upped mine to 3 pumps.

Hi dotty I started on one pump and consultant said gradually increase so I upped it to two but I noticed my breasts seemed awful hard after a few days so I thought I'd drop it down slightly just to see and they don't seem to be bothering me so much the last couple of days plus I'm not having any negative reactions to the decrease so I guess I'm ok playing around with the dosage to get the minimal dose I can tolerate.its still early days for me and I'm feeling pretty good compared to a lot of ladies so I can't complain hrt has most definately made a difference.xx

[Dotty]

Thanks Daisydot. Glad the gel has made a difference .

[Daisydot]

No problem dotty it's wonderful being able to come on here and compare bruises isn't it 😂 the forum combined with the hrt treatment has really helped me and I hope it continues to be as good for everyone else it's something we all benefit from.xx

Just shows how we absorb so differently - different skin, fat content, site of application etc. I've never had a problem with patches and never really noticed them either running out or surges of aynthing when I put them on - maybe my levels do fluctuate but not to the extent that I think woah what's going on and looking for a pattern. As long as you find a way to give yourself as consistent dose as you can that works for you - then all good

If you feel it is running out before change time then maybe you need a higher dose - apply it at night and then you may not notice and by morning you should be OK?
