Title: HRT patch and fat anyone?
Post by: Aubrey on December 04, 2025, 11:08:52 AM

Hi,

I've used 100 patches for a few months now and I think that the place I put them gathers fat, for instance when I used them on my thighs I began to gather fat there and now I'm putting them on my lower belly I'm gathering fat there, but not doing anything else differently (Food exercise).

Has anyone else noticed this?

Your post has really made me think. For the last two weeks I changed my patch (Estradot) location to the buttocks. On Wednesday I reverted back to my usual place which is between the lower belly and top of the thigh (inside the knickers line). Where I put the patches I had a small bump which I thought was some sort of muscle as it's quite firm, but strangely the bumps on both sides have disappeared.

I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens in the next few weeks...
