Title: Patch preferences please - Anyone prefer Evorel patches to Estradot?
Post by: CherryC on January 25, 2023, 10:42:23 AM
Hi, I am curious to know about ladies' patch preferences please and why - Evorel or Estradot?

Also, I understand Evorel is derived from Yam and Estradot from Soya (I think?).  I was previously on Estradot patches and currently trying the gel but I prefer patches from a practical point of view.  Is the Evorel patch closer to the equivalent of the gel ie from yam but in patch form?  Thanks x

Hiya, I’ve been on Estradot for a couple of years now but currently a shortage and have been given evorel as a replacement. I think it’s giving me headaches so calling the docs on Monday. I have heard different patches work differently on people so wondering if I’m getting too much Estrogen released from them.

I prefer estradot because they're smaller and I find they stick better but many women are happy with evorel. I think all you can do is try it and see.
