Why no Conti patches over 50mcg? 🫤
« on: April 11, 2023, 04:19:56 PM »

Hello ladies
I’ve just had a consult with the meno practitioner at my surgery. She was great. But I’m stumped there are no Conti patches over 50!!! Any ideas as to why this is? I’ve heard older women (eg those who will be using Conti) need less estrogen- certainly not the case for me at 54- is this the reason?? Any help would be great. I realize some women must add an extra (part) patch but not easy when requesting scripts. I also know I could buy extra on line via a pharmacy with a pic of my script.
I’m not sure I’ll be switching from my current gel (4 pumps) but I’m struggling with finding a prog that will suit. I’m currently using cyclogest via my Endo, but did have this prog as part of my mini pill which I took for many years, a while ago.
Thank you for any thoughts on my query, or if you know of a Conti patch over 50??
Xx
Thank you
