Title: Is there a good reason I can't use 1 and a half evoral conti patches
Post by: Katymac on November 27, 2023, 09:56:06 PM

Instead of a 75 evoral and a 5 norethisterone tablet?

The consultant said there wasn't enough progesterone  but that doesn't really make sense

I cant work it out; she seemed to say I needed a larger ratio of progesterone if my oestrogen went up but everything I've read makes it look like a straight line progression

. It is certainly ok to use half Evorel Conti patches..I was advised to start with those. I guess that 1.5 would also be ok.
