I've been prescribed FemSeven Conti patches. I'm planning on starting to use them on Friday evening. Not only am I nervous about starting HRT, I'm also worried about the patches not sticking after reading posts about them on this forum. Especially in the summer when I sweat a lot and am active at work. I'm also wondering how they will stay on when I go swimming. Had anyone had any experience of wearing them when swimming?

Why nervous?
Maybe put the product name into the search box on here to see how others get on.

Hiya
I use Evorel patches and have had no problems swimming :)
-
Never had any issue with patches when swimming or in hot weather, they sometimes curl up at edges a bit day before needs changing. Trial and error where you stick them (obviously follow guidelines in leaflet) only time one didn't stick I realised I had talcum powder on the area. good luck.

Hi
I was on holiday last year wearing femseven patch and it came off when swimming.
I find no problems with evorel, they stick so much better.
-
Thanks guys. Just nervous about trying something different, but someone on another post has put my mind at ease. Does anyone know the difference in FemSeven and Evorel?
-
They contain different progesterones. Evorel sticks well in most people but is changed twice a week. FemSeven can be tricky to get to stick but is only changed once a week.
