Hi Flora,
Yes the 2mg tablet had crossed my mind.
I’ve got a review in the autumn, so may mention it then.

I know my specialist is okay with tablet HRT ( hence the femeston).

I was even thinking of taking x 2 femeston Conti, to see how that goes. But then I’m probably going to be progesterone heavy, with the coil too ( I don’t know).

What I do know is, that I don’t absorb gel too well and patches sort the bladder out, but give skin irritation.

Definitely a balancing act! X

Well estradot gets a thumbs up for sticking so well! Plus I had forgotten how tiny they are!
IF no major side effects with these AND they can contain my wild bladder, that's it, I want them.

Fingers crossed a. they work and b. I can source them!

Yes in date until 2023.

Not sure if they are stronger than evorel , as currently have awful period type pains and mild headache 🤕?

I seem to remember this is the reason why I swapped to evorel now. Maybe the Estradot 75 is too strong?

Interesting, other people have said that. But probably it is way too soon to make another change.

If you wanted to reduce you could try measuring the patch in milimetres and then working out how much you need to cut off. I did that with a 50 patch to get 37.5 but it wasn't easy  ;D

Yes joziel, you are right. I am loathed to make any changes as going away in a week.

Suppose I could ask the gp for a 50 dose  when speak to her next week? Will probably find that’s not enough then!

If you want 50, just measure the 75 patch in mms and divide by 3, then use 2 thirds of it...  ;D  I put a couple of biro dots where I'm going to cut.  ;D

Yes I might try and trim down the patch. It's easier with evorel to do that, than estradot.
I am in such a grump today, it has to be the patch. :(
