Great to hear from an experienced ‘patch fan' . On the basis I have not had periods for the las 8 years and was not regular 2 years prior to that , and my FSH levels are at 60 I would say I am Post- menopause phase.
Started my first patch this evening and have been prescribed Evorel Conti patches (Jansen-colas Ltd) to be applied twice weekly.
I am healthy and fit as go to the gym 6 times a week so have no problem with my weight. My hope is to have less hot flushes so that I can have a decent 7 hrs sleep, and also get to enjoy my sex life again.
The other thing is alcohol is the biggest trigger that I have suffered with in the last couple of months, and have consequently chosen not to drink. Although I am not a big drinker at all - I do enjoy a glass of champagne occasionally.
How long does it take before One starts to benefit from the effects?
