Hi Everyone,
I haven’t been here for a while. Have been doing really well on Femseven Sequi patches since my first visit to this site a few years ago when I first started HRT and had amazing support from the ladies on this forum during my “meno meltdown” when I thought I was going mad! Went on to develop the dreaded V.A, but that’s another story and seems to be under control now (touch wood). Had some issues when femseven went out of circulation the last time and then tried a conti HRT, but ended up back on sequi when it came back and all was well.
Anyway, this time with manufacturing issues with femseven, I have had to change to Evorel Sequi patches. Started on full patches, but then had problems with bloating and period-type pains (low back and tummy but no bleeding) and I ended up ripping the patch off. I came back here and had a surf around on the forum and found a thread where someone had similar problems and they went onto half patches. After a couple of weeks of no hrt and return of hot flushes etc I decided to try the Evorel sequi again and started cutting the patches in half. And...So far, so good!! No pains/side effects... and the flushes and sweats etc are all under control.
I was wondering if it is ok to stay on half patches indefinitely?? (I cut the evorel 50 patches AND the conti patches in half) Grateful for any advice, Jo xxxx
