Estradot

I've been using it since Wednesday swapping from eastradose and I'm already pleased with it.
The patch is tiny and so much easier to remove from its backing than the femseven I used before. It sticks realy well and when I removed it today my skin wasnt red like it used to get with the femseven.
I am realy relieved to not be constantly worrying about applying the gel correctly.
Its early days to see how I feel on it I wasnt absorbing the gel and so we shall see.
I have noticed a decrease in my anxiety over the last few days but dont wanna make too much of a big thing about it yet in case it's just coincidence. but there has been a definite improvement in that cortisol rush feeling.
I know it's not easy to equate gel dose with patch but i was on 4 pumps and the patch is 75 so I guess absorbing something from a 75 patch is better than absorbing nothing from a higher dose of something else.

That's good news, yes the patch is tiny, I got irritation from the adhesive so had to abandon it, but I have always had an issue with plasters and micropore tape so wasn't surprised.

I'm glad you're liking it.. it just shows how different we all are because I struggled to even tolerate 75mcg estradot (jittery/anxious feelings) yet manage 3x pumps oestrogel no probs x

That's great news Tc! I've just changed to Evorel 50, which has the same ingredients as Estradot I believe.
My anxiety has definitely got better since I put it on but I just need to get rid of this terrible itching and everything will be good.
So pleased for you Tc x

Thank you ladies. So true how different we all are. I was reading an article the other day which said how much science still has to learn about the complexity of female hormones. So I guess it's no surprise HRT is so hit and miss
.
Still very early days for me on the estradot but fingers crossed.
Julie I hope you get to the root of the itching and get some relief from it.
