Hi All,
Been a while as I’ve been plodding along with it all.
However Lenzetto is now putting me all over the place, 2 sprays far too low but 2/3 alternating sprays gave me the worst stomach issues.
I’m now trying a 50 patch again, given Estraderm due to shortages. Within a couple of days symptoms of an oestrogen hit - swollen boobs, increased appetite, spots and now a mild headache. Nothing I can’t cope with and taking it as a positive sign, I guess this shows the 2 sprays weren’t doing anything but 2/3 was wayyy too much. Weird!
Reminder please, how long to settle on patch before I decide I need to trim a piece off etc. I think I remember 2 weeks or a month possibly???
Also interested in anecdotes from anyone who had weird results on Lenzetto after doing well on it for a good while.
Many thanks as always. :)

I think you should have an idea in a month but 3 months is the recommended time.

Just interested to see if your patch settled Evie606?
Ive just upped mine today and wonder how long to give it. . I usually feel the increase within a few hours and so Im feeling abit out of sort, but want to persevere.

Hi Perimeno,
I’m coming up to 5 weeks and settling down quite a bit. Boobs still a bit swollen but no longer sore, appetite getting back to normal and just a few spots around my jaw.
Had bad anxiety first 2 weeks but that’s also getting better.
Going to stick with this dose and am changing patch every 3 days rather than 3/4.
Definitely persevere for the first month if you can! :)

Great news Evie606. My side effects have gone today, which seems odd as I usually struggle with any increase. I'll be interested to see if i am absorbing the Oestrogen. Where do you put your patch?

Hopefully the disappearance of your side effects is a good thing. :)
I’m sticking patch under waist, around butt area, changing sides with each new patch.
