Thank you Hurdity you are very kind.
I was taking 2 pumps of gel and just thought I'd like to try a patch to see if it made any difference, as I haven't been feeling great but then again it could be something else like the stress and getting older!.
I wrote to Dr Currie because wondering if I was absorbing etc... I'd had a 2 month break from HRT and so she advised if I was to try a patch to go for the 25mcg at first and see how it went. After much faffing by my GP who wouldn't change it without consulting Meno clinic which took a month,(!), I finally got the patches after another telephone GP consultation.
I know the 2 pump equivalent is the 50mcg patch? but will see how it goes.
I haven't had any skin irritation and it stayed stuck on in the shower. I must say its easier than rubbing the gel on every day! I wonder how that small thing can work how it does!
Thank you again
