Hi can anyone tell me what Evorel 50 patch like as I was given them today by my GP , thanks



Total Hysterectomy 27/12/12

[Mini2005]

Hi,

I have just changed to Evorel 50 patches last Friday.  I was taking Femoston 1/10 for 5 months and then Femoston 2/10 since September last year but my symptoms kept coming back intermittently.  Anxiety was the one which bothered me the most.

I am only on my second patch but so far I must say I feel a lot better.  Anxiety has lessened and I have slept a lot better too.  The only symptoms I have left now seem to be neck and arm ache which come and go.

My doctor said that delivering the hormones through the skin was so much more efficient because you get the full dose from the patch or gel.  With the tablets, so much of the effectiveness is lost as they goes through the liver etc.   

I was halfway through my progesterone phase of my Femoston 2/10 last Friday and my doctor said it would be fine to just start the first patch that day which is what I did.  Early days yet but I am very optimistic.  Good luck x

Good news then Moonbeam as this is what you wanted.

I am on the conti version and am just fine. Stick it on and try to stop worrying. It has been a struggle for you to get this kind of HRT. I thought you had decided on a gel though.

Hi Honeybun  I did as for Oestrogel but he bluntly told me they dont do it and this patch is the only one they do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[honeybun]

Well as you wanted initially either  a patch or gel you have got what you wanted.

You can start using immediately if you have not taken your pill today. Stick it on and take a note from the box what is your change day. I put mine on in the morning after my shower. Baby lotion will take off the sticky bits that are left. Put in on below the waist and nowhere near the breasts.

Sure you will find these very good.

I will put it on tonight on my butt and touch wood x

[honeybun]

Just try not to over think and worry so much about things. That in itself will probably do you as much good as the HRT.

I had a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed and have been on Evorel 50 for nearly 3 years and have found it to be very good, i had a few headaches initially but after that all has been fine, hope this helps x

[moonbeam121167]

Thanks, just put it on , so touch wood xx

Good luck Moonbeam. After all that deciding you came across an unhelpful doctor. Let's hope this works for you and you like it, otherwise you will need to bang on their door again in no uncertain terms - treatment like this does make me cross!!
However I have been using patches for years and am very happy with them. Don't forget you can eventually get an increase dose if needed.
Yes - stop worrying!!!

Hi Moonbeam

I've been on them for neary 3 years, started working after only a few days, Im very pleased with them.

Hi Moonbeam, I have also been on them for about 3 years and have had a great result with them. I started out on 1/2 patch and increased it to full patch about 1 year ago. Only have little blips now and again. They also stick very well. x

[moonbeam121167]

Thanks ladies, I hope and pray they work for me and I can feel good again , it would be good to no more mood swing feeling sad all the time and wanting to cry, no more nausea and bad heads that would be fantastic xx

[moonbeam121167]

Can any of you nice ladies tell me how long will I notice a difference with the patch as I have already been on HRT ,pills, I know I have only been on 2 patches but some peoples I have talked to have noticed a difference within days but today I have a lovely headache and the horribly nausea , sorry to be a pain again x
