Title: Patches no longer working?
Post by: Dawnp on July 21, 2022, 06:16:50 PM

I have been on 150 Evorel patches for months and months. I needed the high dose because I wasn’t absorbing properly. However they now appear to have stopped working completely as all my original symptoms have returned. Has anyone else had experience of patches no longer working?

You probably need to go and get a blood test if you're on over 100mcg and still needing more.

Instead of increasing the patches you have on, it might be worth trying a different type of estrogen like the gel or spray to see if you can absorb that better...
