Title: Estraderm every 2 days
Post by: donnacrichton on May 10, 2021, 10:15:12 AM

Hi has anyone had to replace their patch three times a week. I’m on 100mcg this has been my fourth week being reduced from 125mcg. I’m still getting the burst of estrogen when I put it on and drop at three days. I’ve done every three days for about a year. When going up to 125mcg it triggers anxiety really badly. I think I read someone was changing every two days. My consultant has been great and is trying to get my dose even going by symptoms. I definitely get a drop on day three x

Hi!  Have you put the name of the product into the search box and see if threads pop up?  Sometimes it doesn't work though  :-\.  If it does, make notes ;-).

MayB some1 will be along later with advice.

Thanks I read it on here a few years ago. My body doesn’t cope at all with fluctuations have addressed lifestyle this is about the only thing we haven’t tried. Even estrogel was giving me fluctuations. I will do a search and see if I can find the original post. Thanks x

Estradot/Vivelle-Dot should give more stable levels.

Erika28, does Estraderm produce less stable levels and has it been proven so ?  Only asking as I've been on Estraderm for a year and have started getting horrendous joint pains 😢
