Hi!
Newbie here - sorry if this is in the wrong section- trying to find my way around!
I'm 43, been perimenopausal for 3 years. Been on Evorel Sequi patches for 10 months (1.5 patch).
It's really helped with my hot flushes and sore breasts, and helped a little with my sleep struggles... but my weight gain and fatigue seem to be getting worse, as is my virtually non existent libido. Also over the last 3 months Ive been getting periods every 2 weeks and in the run up to those periods quite a few days of period pain type grumbling to the point I'm convinced I'm about to start, so I wear a pad
I guess my question is - is this normal? The GP said it was possible for it to cause heavier and irregular periods but usually more likely in the first 3- 6 months of using them.
I can see from searching the threads that some of you have experienced similar. My GP is suggesting a possible switch to a coil.
Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated as I don't want to come off something that has more or less sorted my hot flushes but the periods are getting a bit difficult especially as I work shifts too!
Many thanks!
