Hi,
I'm new to the forum and had my first prescription of HRT Femseven Sequi Patches 2 weeks ago.
Oh my goodness...please can somebody tell me how do I get the flippin patches to stick??!!
I'm supposed to use one patch a week. I've now used three of the week 1 patches in 3 days! I called my GP and she kindly prescribed another box. Before attempting to use the next patch I went to the pharmacy to ask if I could also use a Tegaderm film to adhere the HRT without affecting the hormone. I was told this would be fine.
So, after a week without using anything, I tried again yesterday. Clean dry skin, firmly held patch in place for 30 seconds as suggested and covered with a Tegaderm film. Within 50 minutes it had creased, come loose and rolled off AGAIN! 😣
What am I doing wrong? Where is the best place to stick them? Is anyone else having the same problems?
I haven't had the benefit of knowing whether HRT suits me yet, as I haven't managed more than 2 hours between 3 patches! Would an implant be better?
Thank you for reading. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
