Title: Patch left on!
Post by: floraljo on January 25, 2023, 10:54:52 AM

Hi, I know there was a post about this somewhere but I can't find it.
I realised today that I had two oestrogen patches on! I've no idea how long that has been the case or even how it happened. I've not had any noticeable issues other than I posted the other day about hair shedding.
Should I be concerned about having double my dose?

No need to worry, they don't last more than 4 days anyway.

As sheila99 says, its not a problem as the old patch will have run out after 4 days.
