I only started them last Monday. Which patches did you get, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m on Evorel Sequi/Evorel 50.I’m so pleased to hear this
Mr dr finally agreed to prescribe me some patches. Really hoping they make a difference.
)That’s brilliant!
Mine has always been very low and when I had a blood test earlier this year if was borderline high for the first time ever. It’s quite a shock when you’ve never had issues with it before and I’m sure perimenopause must be a factor.
I wouldn’t stop but request the conti now ready. I’m still in a 24 ish day cycle so swap at day 15 of the est only patches.
I have the same patches, hopefully they work for me like they have for you. I will report backI only started them last Monday. Which patches did you get, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m on Evorel Sequi/Evorel 50.
day 1/2 I had a really dry mouth, and after that I have noticed having more energy but for my husband to notice it too when it feels very subtle to me, suggests it’s more than that.
(Also: sex drive increase
please let me know how you find them xx

I said you have to go a whole year without a period. She said no you don’t. FFS 
I also saw a physio a few weeks ago and mentioned peri and he said HRT can cause breast cancer The nurse sounds very ill informed. I think part of the problem is people do tend to nowadays blame everything on peri/menopause (not saying you are doing that) so they probably see people all the time smoking/drinking/eating tit and blaming health stuff elsewhere.Well I didn’t like the Nurse I saw about my raised cholesterol! I said is it because of peri menopause she said there is no link which is odd as two of my friends were told at their GP practice that it was due to menopause!
I mentioned to her I’m late going through menopause and I’m still in peri. She said why do you say that? You’ll be in menopause. I said no I’m still having periods. She said you can still have them and be in menopause
I am sick of ignorant health professionals that should educate themselves about peri/menopause.
I’m a healthcare professional and it’s frustrates me that nurses and doctors are not being given or even researching themselves up to date information on peri and menopause. It’s not an area i work in ( paediatrics) but come on there’s tit loads of info out there i’ve accessed myself never mind officially. Another piece of proof that women’s healthcare is underfunded and researched.Well I didn’t like the Nurse I saw about my raised cholesterol!

The old type HRT held more of a risk. Now there is only a slight risk and the risk is small.
I'm also sick of it. I had my usual hustle to get HRT this month, with Dr insisting i have a F2F appointment to discuss my treatment and then the usual spiel about increased risk of cancer before refusing to give me more than 6 weeks worth of treatment.Well I didn’t like the Nurse I saw about my raised cholesterol!

She either has her terminology wrong , or she is basing it on age , rather than symptoms, which is what they do with women who reach menopause on the younger side.Well I didn’t like the Nurse I saw about my raised cholesterol!

I’m 56 but told her I am still having periods and just a few weeks ago had one that lasted 7 days (before that if I got one it would just be some blood when I wiped that lasted a day or two)
She sounds like an idiot. I had a doctor argue with me about how to use my hrt patches. She seemed to think I should use the second patches for 15-16 days, and I’ve only got a 23/24 day cycle!
Take an anti histamine before bed.
Good idea. I've been taking one in the morning and maybe it's wearing off by bed time
will give you a good sleep if you take it at night. if i'm really tired i take half of a cetirizine half an hour before bed.
Have you had your Vit D levels checked? Mine have been low twice and I’ve recently had them tested again and it’s low again. It causes me to have achy legs and hips.
Yes I have but didn’t realise it was meno related. I know meno causes dry eyes and I had dry eyes before peri, so they’re worse now.
