Hi, I'm just coming up to the end of my second month on Evorel Sequil. The first month was a dream - immediate relief of perimenopause symptoms within just a couple of days.
Month 2 has not been so good. My fault initially as I found I'd mixed up the patches, basically I'd used two oestrogen only and then accidentally used two combined patches. I noticed my mistake and decided to just switch back to the oestrogen ones and then skip to the next pack. I then had a normal (and virtually pain-free) period after switching back to the oestrogen only patches as planned so I figured I might as well finish the pack with the combined patches. I don't know if that is the cause of my problems, but that is the background. For the last two weeks I've had persistent abdominal pain, I also had spotting for a week or so but now that is over and my abdominal pain and bloating is so bad today that I tore the patch off in the car on the way home. I want to curl up and cry. I have my three pre-three month check in with the GP next Tuesday but honestly don't know what to do for the best. I'm not even certain that the HRT is the cause here - and if it is, was it my mix up that has messed up my body so much, or is it just side effects I was lucky enough to avoid in month one? Anyone else experience this sort of persistent pain on Evorel? I so want this to work out, month one was just blissful.
