I have used a conti patch successfully for over five years, but since having my COVID vaccine at the beginning of March I have noticed a gradual return of some of my symptoms. ( A number of women on online have also reported similar effects, along with premenopausal women experiencing disrupted menstruated cycles)
Recently my VA has started to rear it’s head again and I’m wondering whether it’s safer to add in Vagifem or to cut a patch in half and use that alongside the full patch.
I realise it’s trial and error, but my main concern is about getting enough progestogen to balance the additional estradiol.
I found a part used container of Estrogel in my wardrobe a couple of days ago ( left over from an unsuccessful trial of that and Utrogestan) and decided to use some, it really helped . However, I can’t continue to use that as I wouldn’t be getting enough progestogen to balance things out. Has anyone else tried using either of these additions successfully?
