Hi again,
great to hear you are doing well with 100 patch!

Do you feel you get an even dose from it all through the 3.5 days? I'm asking as I'm wondering if my dose is too low, or if its more of an issue of uneven absorption (if such thing is even possible with patch). My recent bloods were taken the day after new patch, and at least at that moment I had a high reading, however often on day 3 it feels the dose is already wearing off and I feel closer to what I felt when my oestrogen was really low. So I'm wondering if its possible that I get too much from it at the beginning and too little towards the end.

In any case, trying to gather courage now to increase the patch dose

Enjoy the weekend and hope you continue feeling well!

Thanks Ella,

I think I get a stable dose but my own hormones are fluctuating in the background I believe. By day 3 I have, on occasion, felt like it might be wearing out and have changed it but I felt this more on the 75mcg (which I don’t think was enough for me personally). I am. To sure if I was imagining it though! I was more anxious then so changed it more frequently due to feeling so worried and keen to feel better.

I know we are all different but my understanding is that lower levels mean things are a bit less balanced as your own peaks and troughs in the background aren’t balanced out. Let us know if you try increasing the patch. Best of luck xxx
