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 was a week before mine stopped jellyb

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!
