My consultant recommended me stopping Evorel Sequi--I was on 50 and Evorel Conti, but two patches at once to give me a double dose--and switching to the Evorel 100 patch plus Utrogestan (2 capsules for 12 days of the month). The main reason was my hair loss, which she suspected was caused by the Sequi. I last had a Sequi patch on 27 days ago, but my hair is still going. It might be slightly better than it was, but it's hard to tell as I've lost so much at this point it might be the same percentage loss as before.
How long would my hair loss continue, assuming that the patches were the cause? I'm guessing that it takes some time for all the hormone to pass out of your system. I don't want to get too discouraged yet!
At the start, even before I started HRT, I had hair loss. It actually stopped growing altogether for 4 or 5 weeks as I was so ill at the start. (I had a very sudden menopause in August after little or no perimenopause, and am not producing any of my own hormones anymore
). So it could be that my hair would be falling out anyway, but the loss did seem to get worse after I went on a double dose of HRT in December, so I'm hopeful that it's the patches.
