Hi I'm on the everol 75mg patch and for the last 2 month I've had thrush straight after my monthly bleed
Help. I think it's this patch has anyone else had the same thing happen to them

Yep.  For several years.  For me it was due to gradual drying high up in the vagina as the bleed stopped.  KY Jelly was my lubricant of choice applied as high up as possible, often.  The dryness made me itch.

Oh that was years B4 my periods stopped.  Mostly all the while during my menstruating history: heavy, painful bleeds with clots which went on for 7-10 days.  Then as the bleed dried and became a brown stain, itching would begin, high up.

I'm sure my My doc said the ph balance changes at the end the period.  She didn't seem concerned but it was a nuisance

How about eating LIVE Greek yoghurt every day for 6 weeks to see if that will ease the whole digestive tract?  I have also used it as high up in the vagina as possible to ease the dryness and associated itching.  On the end of a tampon which is soaked with yoghurt is the best way of delivery.
