Hello everyone, lovely to e-meet you all...
I am a 50 year old woman, who has just started on Evorel Sequi (50) & Conti....my periods were very irregular, and almost non existent and the GP confirmed I was peri menopausal after blood testing.)
I'm on 4 Sequi patches then meant to take 4 Conti as per the box (but foolishly opened a 2nd box, long story) and got into a muddle!
To cut a long (and boring story short!) I have taken 6 Evorel Sequi patches, so have had 2, too many. In theory an extra week.
I took Evorel Conti on Wednesday which is my normal change day and, the changed to my 2nd Conti patch today. I feel quite flu-ish, have hot flushes at night & at times feels shivery.
I wanted to know if anyone else ever felt this way when starting out?
Conti seems to get bad press, and taking two extra patches of oestrogen probably hasn't helped.
I'm trying to feel positive, as I've only just started, so wont have much in my system yet, but life is difficult emotionally at the moment and I don't want to feel over whelmed by this now.
Thank you, I hope someone is kind enough to reply xx
