Title: Evorel Conti Q!
Post by: HBee on May 12, 2023, 12:22:00 PM
Hi all!  I’m new here!
I’m 43 and on evorel as my peri menopausal symptoms were bad and since Feb 2022 these patches have been great!
I still get my periods, regular.  I had one last week.  So this week, I took a Conti patch off and forgot to replace it over night (tbh I do this a lot!)…however weds afternoon I start bleeding, still am! Not the most ideal day as I’m seeing the guy I’m sort of seeing tonight and I was hoping to finally go further (I mean get still can etc ha!). Anyway - have any of you experienced this? I realise it’s a side effect but so typical it happens this week!! 🙄🙄🙄

  I have been on Evorel Conti for over 3 years and yes I get a mini period if I take a patch off and forget to replace it for 24 hrs. I have made the same mistake about 3 times since Christmas so now I am being extra careful not to do it again.

Thanks, I am sure I have forgotten before so this was mad.  Still have now though and Saturday was really heavy - do you get it like that? Luckily I  have a check up with my doc anyway in 30 mins so shall ask her!
