Title: Evorel patch size
Post by: Bobidy on April 21, 2020, 11:08:01 AM

Hi all

Do you know if the Evorel patch size is relative to its mcg? Is the 50mcg half the physical size of the 100mcg?

I need to get off this Estrogel, I'm now up to 7 pumps and still can't get rid of the symptoms again. I'm sure I'm either not absorbing it properly or the new shape is less effective.

Thanks x

hi bobidy

i didn't obsorb on my thighs i have to use on arms x

although don't think it's suiting me think it may be making down below sore either that or progesterone giving me vaginal issues and watery discharge annoying me

thinking of changing to patch it's a pain using gel everyday !

on your 6/7 pumps do u use progesterone at all have you noticed an increase in hair shedding at all with taking that amount x

Hi Bobidy
I've had both the 50mg & 100mg Everol and no 50 isn't half the size, wish it was!!

Damn it, I'd need one of both. I'm going to feel like I'm shrink wrapped! X
