Title: Patch change.
Post by: Anjia on June 18, 2019, 07:20:10 AM

I change my oestrogen patch on a Monday and Thursday what I notice is my sleep is always bad on these nights I have terrible adrenelin surges and upset stomach could this be that my level has dropped and has to get back up or is to high? After six years of trying to understand all this is getting me down.

What time do you change your patch? If at night just before bedtime maybe try the morning then you have all day to settle before sleeping.

I used to change mine every 3 or 4 days at night and then chnaged to 3.5 days so morning then evening. Now I am every 3 days and was doing this evenings and have now changed to mornings! I would recommend this too as Maxwin suggests as levels will have stabilised by bedtime.
