Just thought I would post a brief update in case anyone else is looking for people's experiences when first starting to use Evorel Sequi (50 and Conti) patches.
I've been using these patches for two weeks, so have only applied the 50 (oestrogen) patches so far.
The patches are a little bit uncomfortable, v annoying when you wear jeans, but overall ok.
Symptoms - I am having some very extreme mood swings, and am very emotional. However, I was getting this a lot before the Evorel, and it's very early days with the patches.
Last weekend, I had a migraine so bad, I had to go to bed for a few hours. Again, at this stage, I don't really know if this is due to the patches or not.
However, the night sweats seem to already be improving, even though my sleep is still terrible. And have a slightly less dry vag (couldn't think of a nicer way of saying that, sorry!).
So, overall, it seems stuff is starting to happen already. I have two weeks of the Conti patches with oestrogen and progestogen coming up next, so will try to remember to post again.
