Hello,
My menopause started at 44 and I spent two years in denial and then decided to see my doctor to get some advice. I was feeling awful at this stage and truly felt like my body was broken.
We decided on patches as this was the best fit for me to get my oestrogen for my bones and progesterone to ensure my womb was shedding its lining.
Recently, I’ve started taking Evorel Sequi patches as my previous brand (FemSeven Sequi) was discontinued. I’m not taking to these too well, sore boobs, x2 periods in a month and hyper mood swings. The previous brand was one patch a week and Evorel Sequi is two patches a week (which may be the reason why the increase in periods).
I wondered if any one else has had a similar experience. I’m on the second month of taking these and my doctors advised me to hack it for three and then we’d reassess the situation.
Any advice would be welcome.
