Hi, i have been on estraderm Mx 50 Patches for a good few months and found themTo be good up until lately when hot flashes and night sweats came back, doctor up the dosage to 75mg, I've been on for 2 weeks, been bleeding for a week, I'm very low in my mood, feel bloated and have no motivation whatsoever, Do You think this Will pass, Or do you think the extra 25 is to much estragen Tia x

Hi Sjays - what progestogen are you using with the patches? Maybe you need to increase this now you have increased the patch dose. Also are you peri or post-meno? Could it be your own cycle coming into play hence the bloating, low mood etc? Bleeding can be due to all sorts of reasons.
