Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it :-)

Patch now on. Here goes....

[Dancinggirl]

In about a week you may well find you start to get a better nights sleep.  Enjoy. DG x

Oh I hope so! I'm exhausted - I haven't had a night with more than 4 hours sleep (broken) in weeks...

Hmm. First patch started getting loose night before last. I cleaned and dried the skin properly but it just must be me. I hope the next one sticks for longer.

My two eldest are having a great time taking the Mick out of me. Everything is blamed on "mum's menopause".... late for the bus? It's the menopause. Lost something? It's the menopause. Etc. I think Imay have to remind them of the huge benefit next time they have cramps...

Yeahright -Just occurred to me.
Moisturising shower / bath things don't help patches to stick.
For me non creamy things work much better.

What passes for my routine on patch change day is:
Remove old patch.
Rub baby oil onto sticky mark, leave for about 5 mins, rub off, gently  with cotton wool.
Shower - I use simple shower gel on patch days
Cool down and dry thoroughly.
Apply new patch

Make sure you do gloat when your eldest get cramps or PMT

Hi Yeahrightmorris

Welcome to menopausematters.co.uk from me.
Best of luck with your new hrt patches.
I'll be moving from pills to patches next week, myself, because, unfortunately, I was one of the few unlucky women who don't absorb the pills very well.
