hi i am now going to give estradot 25 micrograms patch ago, had a hysterectomy 7 years ago, any information about them would help thanks

[Joyce]

I'm on estradot 37.5 at the moment and doing fine on it. Have to reduce to 25 in the next few weeks though. Fingers crossed it works for both of us.

Hi Sue, im on estradot also - 60 mcg (cut patch). I like it, it sticks very well and is very small. Are you only beginning to use hrt? x

I used to be on oestrogel, which I applied each night, but I was was getting an increase in flushes again.  Consultant suggested Estradot 50 initially, but my BP was misbehaving, so GP thought it would be best to try a lower dose which is keeping flushes, sweats etc at bay.  Have to say I prefer the patches, not so messy.  They stick well, most of the time.  Never heard of gel patches though.

  I have been on Estradot for 6 years ,I started on 50 and now use a 75mg patch and they work really well, I change mine every 3 days , supply can sometimes be a bit difficult so if thats the case where you are you have to order well in advance, will stay on them as long as I need them.

Hi Joyce when you changed from the gel to the patch did you experience an increase in hair shedding ?

Mine has increased badly I was on 2 pumps gel and started on 50 patch estradot but was getting bad flushes so after 2 days increased to 75 do you think this is why ! To much estrogen to soon

This is a really old thread and it looks like Joyce is no longer a member.

As Birdy says, you do need to give HRT time to settle.
