Started patches - flushes are worse
« on: December 08, 2016, 07:03:56 AM »

Hi,
I started my Evorel Conti patches.  I know it's only been a couple of days,  but the flushes seem to be worse.  They're definitely more ferocious.
Please tell me this will get better!!
Thanks.

Hello JellyB.

Unfortunately I am not one of the expert ladies but I wanted to say that I feel your pain.

 I have been using Evorel 50 mcg patches for over a year and I am still flushing. However before you panic I have never stopped flushing regardless of being on or off HRT!  I would add that my flushes have never been ferocious or dripping but I have yet to escape them entirely.

Hopefully your regime will soon work for you. Wishing you well.

It's not unusual for symptoms to get worse before they get better when you first start HRT.

This definitely happened for me - my sleep got worse and I got hot flushes, which I never get normally.

It took about 12 days to settle.

Hang in there!

Thanks everyone,

They are definitely worse than they were when I wasn't on HRT.  On The Mirena & Evorel 25 I didn't get any flushes.

I will persevere, in the meantime, I'm actually enjoying the cooler weather for once!
