Hiya I was originally on Everol Conti when I started HRT ... first two weeks was a struggle.. After that it made a HUGE difference for me.. However after about 9 months or so on it.. Symptoms were returning..

My GP is really receptive, and put me on  the Everol Conti but  also a Everol 25 patch. ( estrogen only)  ( generic is estradiol) so gives a bit ormore estrogen...

So far so good..

Hey,

That's really interesting to read. I feel like I struggle when I switch to the combi patch after two weeks on estrogen only so I didn't consider that taking combi with extra estrogen would help. Is the idea that you have an ongoing supply of progesterone (or whatever it is exactly) through the combi patch  but the extra estrogen is still needed to manage overall symptoms? Also, has this resulted in more bleeding /spotting for you?

I've been so much better than I was since starting hrt so I'm obviously nervous about making a change.

Thanks for the input 🙂

Hiya Nmb,

For me I've had no issues with spotting/bleeding since initally starting the Conti.. others experience may vary.. I'm guessing that was GP's thought behind the estrogen only patch in addition to the combi patch

That makes sense to me! Thanks again
