Hi all,
I'm Rachel, my peri-meni journey started at age 36, but symptoms were manageable, that is until last year (I'm now 40).
My GP is now trialling me on the Evorel Sequi patches but I don't know when to start using them. My GP has given me advice that conflicts with patient info I've found online and my pharmacist just outright admitted they don't know.
I'm on the mini-pill (Desogestrel) and don't have periods as a result of this.
I'm trying to find out if in medical terms, is not having periods the same as not having a hormonal cycle? In which case I can just start using the patches anytime.
OR
Could I still be having a hormonal cycle, but just not menstruating? In which case I should come off the pill and wait for my periods to return before starting the patches.
I have trawled the internet for hours looking for answers, but I can't find anything that is specific to my situation. Has anybody else had this experience?
