Hi Ladies,
I started Evorel Conti patches 3 weeks ago. After 5 days I got horrendous stomach cramps.
Finally,3 days later, I spoke to my GP, and he told me to cut the patch in half for a while.
I did that and 1 day later the cramps stopped.
However yesterday the cramps returned and are bad again today. Last night in bed was very painful and its bad again today.
I am still only on 1/2 a patch.
Most of my life I was on the contraceptive pill, Eugynon and then Microgynon. I read up on it, and it seems the hormones in those Pills are the same ones as used in Evorel Conti?
I was absolutely fine on the Pill all those years.
So I cant see that I am intolerant to anything in the Patch?
Has anybody else had these bad cramps when starting the HRT, and if so, how long did it take to settle down please?
I dont know whether to just go ahead and use a full patch or just wait for all the cramps to go?
Hopefully somebody out there will have some experiences of their own to help me?
Ali xx
