Ladies on evorel conti that ended up needing something extra. What did you get?
After 2 years of feeling good, some things are creeping back in. Brain a bit foggy again, joints hurt, sleep not good and a bit sweaty at night 😔

It might be that you just need an increase in the size of patch you are using so you could ask your gp.

It sounds as though you need an increase in oestrogen. Unfortunately the conti patches only come in one strength so you may need an oestrogen only patch alongside a different progestin such as utrogeston.

I was using the Everol Conti previously and the gynae increased by telling me to cut a 50 patch in half or to put two on etc. I thought 50 and 25 patches were available but I could be wrong about that. You can use more than one patch. But you can always consider other options of course.

But I would always consult your gp, just to add!

The oestrogen only patches come in different strengths but not the conti. An extra half conti patch will do the same job but may not stick as well if it curls up at the edges.

Thank you, I assumed I may need extra oestrogen. I’m quite happy with the patches so don’t want to risk cocking it all up again by starting something else.
Emergency only appointments here at the moment, so will keep trying to get hold of a doctor for advise.
