Hello
I need some advice please.
I started on Evorel Conti patches in April this year. On these patches, I had some good days, but mostly bad. The side effects were unbearable for me.  I spoke with a medical professional who prescribed me Oestrogel pump for the morning, and Utrogestan 100 for the nights.  So, my question is: how do I make the transition. I am due to change the patch tomorrow, but I want to start the new HRT that was prescribed.
I am quite nervous, because I do not want anymore dizziness, shortness of breath, bloating and any of the other seemingly endless side effects.

Can someone please help? Thanks

Does it not suggest in the leaflets in the boxes?

Me - I would swap tomorrow - hopefully someone who uses these will be along.

Browse round.  Ask away.

Hi just change to the new regime tomorrow. x

I'm making the move from patches to gel currently. I wasn't absorbing well on the patches.  I just stopped the patches and started on the gel and started having horrible anxiety and hot flushes- but also some positives, less brain fog, more energy and more libido. But i couldn't handle the anxiety, so I went back on the patches. My mood went back to feeling brain fog, fatigue, libido gone.

So I'm trying the gel again but this time transitioning much more slowly- currently I'm doing a 50 patch and one pump of gel a day, and going to gradually lessen the patch and increase the gel. Much more successful, getting the positives without the negatives now.

I've just swapped over too. I added one pump of gel to the patch on the day I got the new prescription, then took the patch off the next day and began my new regime of 3 pumps (from a 50 patch) and 1 pill. I'm almost 3 weeks in and haven't had any side effects from doing so.
Good luck.
