After using Lenzetto successfully for 1.5 years, over the last 3 or 4 months it has been causing an increasingly worse allergic rash on my inner arms where I apply it, so I've reulctantly accepted that I needed to switch to something else, and today have started the patch (Estradot). After so much upheaval already, I am very, very nervous at switching as Lenzetto worked so well for me.
The dosing with Lenzetto is so varied depending on where you look, so getting an equivalent dose of anything else is totally hit and miss, and I am uber sensitive to relatively small changes in Estrogen. I'm currently on 3.66 sprays (don't ask!) of Lenzetto and have gone with a switch to a 50mcg patch. I figured (for me personally) it's easier to go up than go down and I should know fairly soon if it's too low, but all feedback on that equivalent dose is welcomed!!
My question is, I've used 2 x 25mcg patches as I had them here already and I noticed that they are kind of rippling and don't look fully pressed onto the skin, even when I've been pressing them down (which may or may not have something to do with my rolls of fat in that area!). Is this normal / does it mean absorption will be less? Any other tips for an anxious new patch user?
