Is anyone having trouble with the Estrodot patch not sticking the last few packs Ive had seem to have some duff ones that just peel off I make sure my skin is clean and dry but they wont stay and Im having to put a new one on such a pain.

I gave up on them! And yes - I did have a couple that looked 'dull' and didn't stick well despite very, VERY careful application. Blasted things! Certainly didn't work for me, so I'm back on the Estrogel. I also had one from the last batch that was faulty as it had a little black 'inclusion' within the patch glue. Hmmmm.....

Also hated the wrinkling, and the 'surge' on patch day and petering out which is no good if like me you don't have any ovaries! I know for some, these are god's gift - but for me personally, it was a definite no.

Were yours 50's,  Anjia?

HI no mine are 75 but Ive been cutting a small bit off as 50 is not enough and 75 to much I had a hysterectomy four years but still cant get a balance of oestrogen I tried gel but had flushes worse than ever how much gel do you use?

Hi, Anjia!

At present, I use 2 pumps of gel in the PM. The beauty of the gel is that you can adjust - I had quite a few problems with it at first but am finding it to be certainly better than the patches. Did you apply in a single dose, or did you try splitting dose AM and PM? This might suit you well as you may get steadier coverage throughout the day. xxxx

Thanks Tempest I put a pump on each leg first thing in the morning but had the worst flushes ever in the afternoon that went on for a few days I had to give up.
