I have been on the same dose of patch for years 100mcg. This year I have a whole host of symptoms looking like I am not getting as much estrogen. I have made an appointment to see my GP but that’s the end of November. The only thing that has changed is my weight. I have gained three stone since January and this is when my symptoms began. In theory is it possible I am not getting the same amount of estrogen because my tummy is much fatter than it was last year? I really don’t want to mess with the dose if there is another option. It has given me a reality check and for my health I now need to address the weight gain. The symptoms are slowly getting worse along with the weight 😡
