Title: Hrt hell
Post by: Hetty2018 on July 10, 2019, 08:25:43 PM

Hi ladies
Just wondering if any of you are using the Evorel patches and what the highest dose is that you use ?
I'm two years post op (total hysterectomy) and am still working my way through all the different hrt combinations to find something that suits me :(

I have used Evorel in the past - think it was 75 mcg.
I've found Estradot to be the best patch for me - much smaller and a more flexible plastic that sticks really well.

My dose currently is 200 mcg three times a week, prescribed by the Menopause Clinic at The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. It took a couple of years to get the right HRT for me but eventually got there  :)
Hope you find something soon.

Thanks for the reply :)
I'm on Evorel 100 twice a week and after my Estrogen levels were below 50 they have raised now to 182 after a few months of taking it but I feel like I need more, I felt great about a week into taking it but that didn't last too long.
 My GP isn't amazing and I had to push for the patches in the first place, when I asked if I could stick two on they said I was on the highest possible dose

I am on Evoral Conti, just on 3rd week, ok, apart from the runs first 2 days, and a few headaches, but time will tell
