Title: New to site and need some advice please
Post by: Jamjar71 on July 18, 2022, 01:32:21 PM
Hi. I’ve had the mirena coil fitted and been taking Evorel 50 for about four months now. My breasts are very tender, I feel bloated, I’m very anxious in fact I feel worse than I did before I went on it.  The doctor has said to me today to try evorel 75 to see if this helps.  Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thank you

Hi!  Bloatedness is the worst I think ......... feeling full and to passing what one needs to get rid of.  How were you during your menstrual years, I had bloating which was really awful  :-\

Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary useful.  I wouldn't increase to 75 immediately ....... mayB the next time that you use the patch ? up it then wait a few nights?  Or you could feel worse than you do now.

There is a good search box, you could put your regime into it separately and see which threads pop up.  Make notes ;-)

Hi. Thanks for replying. I always used to get bloated when I was younger.  I forgot to say that I’m 51 now.  I’m due to change my patch on Thursday but just not sure what to do.  I just want to feel better and a bit more ‘normal’. Whatever that is  :(  I wondered if it might settle down again.  I’m new to this nso not really sure how it works yet  ;D

U could either up the dose or stop for 7-10 days to see how you feel.
