So I have stuck it out with Evorel Sequi for almost three months. My bleeds have been better but occurring just after I start the combi patch. I then feel premenstrual again when I start the oestrogen patch (had a tiny bit of breakthrough bleeding this time) which leads me to believe my own cycle is overriding the patch. It means I feel premenstrual for about three weeks out of four, sluggish and tearful. I haven't has too many headaches which is good. The sweats are controlled but I don't feel good. I have also gained 6lbs in less than 3 month's which isn't like me and with no change to my diet (I also exercise daily). I feel like it's water weight. I also feel this is too much oestrogen. I was on Elleste Duet 1mg about 4 years ago. This worked well apart from the headaches the last 2 weeks of the month. I believe Elleste is a lower dose than the Evorel. I feel like I want to cut down/come off HRT and see where I am. I am 54. I have an appointment with my GP in three weeks. I would like to reduce this oestrogen now. I feel yuck! I am also scared of the impact though as it could really affect my job. Would halfing the patch be the best option?
Thanks for listening. x
