Yes you can go back to sequi but you will get the monthly bleeds.
Have you tried the other patch type - Evorel? It has a different progesterone but if you are not too sensitive to progesterone generally then it could be fine. If you like being on a bleed free regime, then why not consider having a Mirena fitted and simply use oestrogen only patches alongside? If I remember correctly the Mirena has the the same progesterone as Femseven so this could be a good alternative. DGx

Hi, I didn't have a bleed on the sequi for some reason so was surprised dr changed it at the time . I am only using half a patch , hope going back to the sequi doesn't mess me up lol
Will give it a go . The other patch made me suffer with pmt type symptoms , an irritable gal lol
