Hi ladies. Anyone changed from Evorel to Estradot patches, my specialist has changed it as she said she has been having more ladies absorbing it better than Everol? Worth a try to get my anxiety under control!

[Perinowpost]

I tried it but soon switched back to evorel as I didn’t like it. We are all different in our biochemistry though, hopefully you’ll get on with it x

Hated estradot with a passion.
Makes me irritable and bloated.

[Flan747]

Thanks Nas🙈 got to give it a try and hopefully won’t be like that for me 🤞

[Nas]

Fingers crossed Flan. We are all different when it comes to these oestrogen products, so this could be the one for you!

[Flan747]

Thanks Nas and yes aren’t we just I’ve tried so many this is my last shot at it if I’m honest x

[Nas]

What dose patch will you be on? Absorption is meant to be better on the Estradot ( so I’ve heard?) x

[Flan747]

Starting on 100 and up to 150 if needed x

I'm almost certain I absorb more estradiol on Evorel than Estradot - I used the latter for years, but interestingly I think I have more womb lining build up on Evorel (indicating greater absorption - scan also showed this), ie heavier bleeds and I've had to reduce cycle length accordingly. Do I imagine I have more energy with the Evorel?  Maybe! The Estradot are very small but as such I found in hot weather they tended to slide about a bit....

Due to supply issues I've been switching between both for the past few months. I find estradot easier to stick on, but other than that I've not really noticed a difference in my symptoms from one or the other.

[Flan747]

Thanks ladies! I use Tegaderm over the top of my patches so hoping the are good with the Estradot? Should receive them Monday. I’ve increased my Evorel to 100 today and have the most horrendous headache which I can’t shift, the anxiety appears to have shifted a bit 🤞 x

[Stella2]

I am happy with Estradot - switched from Sandrena. It sticks very well, it's small and I have not noticed any side effects.

Stella 2, I've tried Everol 50 but doesn't seem to suit me - next trying Sandrena - did you not get on with it? Thank you.

[Flan747]

Morning ladies. So I haven’t received my Estradot yet but I did increase my Evorel to 100 from 75 and I feel awful  yesterday I had the most horrendous headache all day and today I’ve woken with a slight headache but awful low mood and anxiety! I know I need to wait a few weeks but was wondering would you say it’s the increase or could it be I’m not absorbing, symptoms appear to be low estrogen. I’m tempted to add some gel as a rip up? Any suggestions welcomed x

[Stella2]

Ange 63, Sandrena was fine but I started feeling a bit hot early morning so GP suggested that a patch could be a better solution.
Sorry to hear you are feeling like that Flan747. I am unsure if you need to increase, I hope you will get responses from ladies who know more about it.
