Hi ladies, I would appreciate a bit of reassurance and advice as I go further down into my menopause journey
My Gp suggested trying Evorel Conti patch 7 months ago.
( was taking oral hrt 2mg before this, wasn't having bleeding on the tablets but was experiencing migraines at night time and indigestion/gastric probs so changed to patches to try them.)
I didn't get bleeding only very slight spotting when changing over to the patch but I had a period bleed 6-8 weeks ago!!
This is when my breast pain started. My left breast is now larger than the right and feels different because it's wider?! Pain from both wakes me at night time. I have also put on weight about half a stone. Feel bloated around my stomach. Also past few weeks Getting leg cramps at times, have sprouted hairs on my chin !! Which get regular plucking!!
. I have brown patches on my face around my cheeks.
I have an appointment on Tuesday to see a male Gp. Have waited 2 weeks for this but unforunately not my usual female Gp. This is for a breast check.
So I have cut my patch in half yesterday as I think I'm getting too much hormones by taking the continuous combined patch. Also my own cycle has suddenly broken through and now my hormones are off again 🙃What do I do about the continuous patch 🤔 is it ok to half it? Will I bleed again now ?
I thought someone on here would be able to help in some way .
Many thanks
