Hello everyone,
I am currently on Evorel 75 patches and Utrogestan, I'm still having periods. I was on tablet form HRT until the beginning of last year when my new GP changed me over to patches (evorel 50 to start) as she said it was better for women who had a diagnosis of endometriosis. I've not had symptoms of that for a long time though. Until I started these patches.
I've had the results of some bloods that were done to check the absorption of HRT and they've come back as adequate. My GP had said if it showed I had low absorption she would add in a gel for me. Because they've shown as adequate I've requested another appointment because I want better than adequate, I have been feeling awful for the last few months. Aches, fatigue, I feel bone weary and I've been so low with my mood.
Now, I do have Fibromyalgia and ME along with depression but I was managing very well and felt I was coping until I started the patches and especially the 75's.
I did muck up my Utrogestan in October when I was looking after my Mum who was ill and I didn't have a period until 2 weeks ago (thank goodness) so I wondered if that would have any effect of the results. I should have started taking them again 30th of October but didn't start again until 30th December.
To be completely honest I have no idea about how my hormones work which is terrible, I need an easy reading book.
I just want to feel well again, maybe the patches aren't suitable for me?
I hope the above isn't too much of a ramble, I do have lot going on.
