Hello,
I’m on the 4th day of switching from Oestrogel/Utrogestan to Evorel Conti and I don’t want to jinx it but I’m feeling really good.
When I tried Evorel Sequi 18 months ago, I felt bad as soon as I put on the Conti part and the same with Utro but I’m feeling chilled and upbeat which was how I was before peri. I’m sleeping great and apart from a couple of spots and the odd pang of breast tenderness, all is well so far.
Can you develop a better tolerance over time to norethisterone or has anyone else noticed an improvement from old Evorel since Theramex took over the manufacture?
I may crash and burn next week but this is definitely a first for me.

Hi Evie606

Great news that you are feeling better. I haven't looked into the composition of the newly remanufactured patches but I imagine the formulation would be the same otherwise they would need to go through a period of testing I would have thought?

My reaction to norethisterone was unpredictable. When I used Evorel sequi when i first started hRT - I hated it and it gave me migraines, and also when I tried a conti patch later. However I have had to take much higher doses of norethisterone orally a couple of times because my GP wanted to ensure my lining was thin as I am on a longer cycle - and I didn't really notice it, apart from a weird effect on my blood sugar ie tendency to reactive hypoglycaemia ( but then that's not unusual for me ie odd blood sugar).

Anyway make the most of how you feel and long may it last

Hi Hurdity,

Thanks for the reply, day 7 and still feeling good with increased energy also.

Ah, I wasn’t sure of the back story if they had done any more testing. I just knew it was a new company. Interesting that you also had a mixed response to norethisterone, I keep expecting the other shoe to drop with migraines/stroppy/bleeding etc as I had with Sequi.  It may well come any day but I’m doing exactly as you say and savouring the moment for now.    X

Hi Evie606.

I've been on Evorel Conti for four years. Funny i thought I've been feeling better with EC lately, with increased libido, and thought maybe it has improved with the new manufacturers, but I know they can't change anything like that.
Glad you are doing fine too Evie

  I have just started a new box from my latest prescription. I haven't noticed anything significant.
