Title: Evorel 50 side effects - sore breasts
Post by: Baldrick11 on December 12, 2018, 07:27:10 PM

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone can advise if the symptoms I am having are normal.

I have been on HRT for 6 months initially Estelle solo 40 and mirena coil, however recently I had a few of my previous symptoms returned I.e. Night sweats / low mood.

So the doctors increased my estrogen and for the last 2/3 weeks I've been on Everol 50 (still have the mirena) however my breast are now sore.

Should I wait and see if this settles? Or go back to my doctors?

Thanks for any guidance

I suffer with very sore breasts. Not on HRT. What did you decide to do? X

It won't deal with the cause, but in terms of the soreness itself, starflower oil capsules can help taken daily, keep your bra on, hot or cold water (either can help). Hope you feel better soon xx

I've been on evorel 50 for a few years now.
Sometimes  my breasts have just no feeling at all and other times they are so tender and painful that I have to wear a soft but supportive sports type bra even to bed.
I wouldn't mind, I'm only a 34B 😂! That I'm thankful for.
See how you get on, although it's not nice I'd prefer it if I got a little tenderness each month as it lets me know that my period is imminent.
I hope it settles for you.
xXx
