Patches
« on: February 02, 2023, 11:44:27 AM »
I need a bit of help, I started HRT patches 16/1/23. Can someone tell me if I was correct in starting taking the Progesterone yesterday (1/2/23)? It's 2 weeks after I started the patch. I don't know if I need to wait 2 weeks after a withdrawal bleed, or if the bleed comes after I have started taking the tablets. I am just a bit confused.
Thank you

The withdrawal bleed can be expected when you stop the progesterone, so you are doing it right. Oestrogen patch all the time, add in the progesterone for the last two weeks. Erratic bleeding can be expected for a while when starting a new regime, or adjusting an existing one.

I just rip mine off like with a plaster. It's easier after a bath or a shower though.
