New-ish to HRT and brand new to this site - glad to have found you.  Apologies if this is a frequent question - haven't mastered searching effectively yet.
Just coming to the end of my second cycle of Evorel Sequi.  Have had bleed in week 4 both times, heavy, painful etc (this after having very light and very sporadic periods for 3 years - its quite a shock!).  I really want to delay the bleed next time, just by a few days, so that I'm back from holiday.  Should I just delay opening the packet, or have a gap between the Evorel 50 and the Evorel Conti.  I'm thinking that it doesn't matter much, and that there is no harm in a few days gap.  Am i right?  Thank you.

Hello, I would say no harm at all in delaying the cycle ie delay opening the packet. I wouldn’t put the gap in the middle of the cycle (though I cant think of a coherent reason why not!).

Bear in mind you will be without oestrogen for a few days if you do this though, may cause symptoms to come back…possibly.

I wouldn’t do it regularly as your body needs to get used to the new hormone levels, but as a one off it’s ok I guess.

Enjoy your holiday!!!!

I would use an extra oestrogen patch rather than no patch as your symptoms are likely to return.

Hi i was thinking the same thing as Sheila99....add another oestrogen patch after using the second one, but there's no guarantee it will delay the bleeding.
