Hi there, I am on day 6 of Evorel Conti patches, every day I feel really hungry and shaky like I haven’t eaten even though I am eating regularly. Wears off for a while after a meal but doesn’t take long to come back.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can’t see any mention on data sheet or google that relates this to HRT but it only started the day after first patch.
Any advice gratefully received x

  I have been on these for over a year but have never had this.How often are you changing the patch? Twice a week as I do ?

[Roobee]

Yes due to put third one on tomorrow

Yes this happened to me on conti HRT but I also used to get it during the last two weeks of my natural cycle so I put it down to the effect progesterone has on my body. It did get better after the first 6 weeks. Give it time to settle.

The trouble is it makes you want to eat LOADS and often!!

That shakey feeling 4 me is due to not having eaten properly.

Im pleased to hear it’s not just me, convinced myself I’ve got diabetes 😂 just thought it seemed really strange, expected to maybe feel sick and lack appetite but not want to eat the world!
Thanks Taz xx

Yes I’ve had it in the past if I’ve not eaten properly, but this week I have been really good and eaten regularly and tried to eat healthy too. Maybe it’s just shock to the system and my poor old body is trying to find some strength to deal with a sudden influx of hormones 😂

Hello Roobee.

When you say you've had this in the past when you haven't eaten properly do you mean that you hadn't eaten enough and you are still hungry? Some foods are more satisfying than others so perhaps  include plenty of fibre in your diet as that can help you to feel full.

Take care.

I mean on the odd occasion like I was really busy at work and didn’t get lunch till late and would get wobbly and shaky needing food. Knew why then though. But have not had it every day when eating regularly. I think it is probably the progesterone kicking in, only been on patches a week tomorrow so could be that I guess. Was just interested to know if anyone else had the same experience as this is all new to me x

Some find it useful to keep a mood/food/symptom diary.

Just had a lightbulb moment this afternoon and this wobbly, low blood sugar, weak feeling is exactly what I had when I was pregnant both times. I’m guessing this surge in new hormones is similar to that.
Sadly when I was pregnant I used to eat mars bars to make it go away, not sure I can get away with that this time 😂

[CLKD]

I used to cut Mars Bars into small pieces and put it into the fridge ;-).  Not due to pregnancy ....

I had this in peri. When I felt hungry I HAD to eat. Used to be a pain if we were due to go for a meal and I got hungry. I would be stuffing my face with a sauce sandwich half an hour before. And my hubby would say can't you wait and I would say NO I just had to eat then.
