Hi All,
I’m hoping someone may be able to help or has done something similar…I’ve been on continuous Evorel 75 patches with daily utrogestan for over a year and today, when I changed my patch over mid weekly, I realised I still had the other one on. I alternate bottom cheeks and have no idea why I didn’t realise I’d left the old one still on 
Has anyone ever done this? I always ensure I change exactly mid weekly and I read that there is only enough eostregen in these for four days, so would it have worn off? I haven’t felt any different to how I usually feel, but I am worried about oestregen overdose.
Happy Christmas!
Thankyou,
Teresa

The patch only has four days worth of oestrogen in it. You'll be fine, I've done it too

Hi Joaniepat,
Thankyou! I’m not the only one  I can’t believe I did it and I didn’t even notice in the shower. I was so confused when it came to changing it this morning lol 
It must be Christmas being on my mind…
Thankyou for putting my mind at rest.

I have done this too! I did not feel any different. It is easily done.😀

I don't think you need to worry. I did it deliberately to try and get a higher dose and I felt no difference.

Thankyou Sheila99 & Flossieteacake,
It’s good to know we are all not alone in doing this! I was completely stumped this morning as I’m so used to having one side with no patch, it was a strange moment…I’m glad neither of you also experienced no ill effects.

I do this, too! :-)

Teresa, you are so not alone. I've done it when my routine is disrupted - holiday/christmas  things like that.
Like the others I felt no difference.

I did this last week.
I take other hormones and meds, the progesterone interacts with one med, and I used to freak out if I made any errors.
Now I am a bit more softer on myself, however, it would benefit me to complete my daily records of amounts on my notes app, instead of being lazy and not completing them.
