Evorel conti hrt patch

Hi I am 54 and hadn't had a period for 15 months. But was suffering awful hot flushes every hour almost. Aching bones and joints insomnia etc. GP suggested evorel conti. Been on it 5 months and eureka felt great within 4 to 5 weeks. Slight spotting which became regular every month and now full blown period heavy !! Devastated thought this was all done . Took 10 years of getting on with each stage and now feel back to square 1 all be it no hot flushes. Anyone else experienced this?? Should I give it longer?? Trying to get a GP appointment well nothing till mid August feeling gutted!!!

Interesting, i was prescribed Evoral Conti, and was initially worried as i have been losing hair, and one of the side effects cold be hair loss, but only been on them for 5 weeks
The worst thing for me is feeling bloated, i have another few weeks before i see my Dr, but i am going to ask to be put back on my previous HRT,
Oh and also get a feeling as if i am going to have a period,a general ache in lower stomach.
The first couple of days i had the runs though and ever since my bowels are loose,which is unknown for me as i suffer with constipation
I have read the same about others on Evoral Conti having the runs too,and i am sure my hair has thinned even more
Anyone else noticed this
I have felt a bit more energetic ,but that could also be because i upped my iron intake

Well i am taking the patch off and not using anymore,
My hair had some loss, but i have noticed for a few weeks the loss was getting worse,i have now almost a bare scalp from one side to the other at the back
I did tell my Dr that one of the side effects was hair loss, because of the type of Progestogen, Northeristone, but he said the Oestrogen would help with hair growth,
He was wrong and i am ringing him tomorrow to let him know
I have read on menopause Matters forum of seceral people this has happened to with Evoral Conti
So just a warning if anyone has any hair loss already, it exacerbates it
Not saying it will happen to everyone, but keep a check on your hair
I have only been taking it for 5 weeks, and had drastic loss in that time
Absolutely devastated

@Seth2003 do go and see your GP…and have an ultrasound. It could be the oestrogen causing the problem and a womb lining thickening or polyps.. i had the same with the Conti version and have had to come off it for the time being..
If the patch is causing problems best to get this sorted early.

Great to read others stories of being on Evorel Conti. I tried Kliovance tablets (didn’t work) & have now been on Evorel patches for 5 weeks, but am still having headaches in the p.m,
a general lack of energy & bad nights with clammy body heat extreme temperatures (I’m 60, but was only recently diagnosed with post menopausal symptoms after persuading my doctor to do a hormone test which came back sky high). Should I persevere or see if I can be referred to an endocrinologist....willing to pay if necessary as getting desperate to get my life back again!

Good morning ladies,
My first post
I have been on the combine Evorel Sequi since March until September when I was informed low in stock I was full of energy now due to shortages I have been on Novofem (tablets) I’m tired breakdown all in all not a nice person to be around. I saw my doctor on Thursday was informed shop around smaller chemist might have my patchers in stock I managed to find a chemist that had 3 boxes I will have to prioritise patches to tables.
Have anyone else had problems in obtaining Your patches?
Ladies have a great weekend

Yes, Henri66, there is a manufacturer’s problem and I can’t get my Estradot 50mcg patches. Went to Tenerife in October and bought a supply with no problems. There doesn’t appear to be and end to the problem in sight either.

Thank you Hotmama for the information I will ask my friend who is going out to Tenerife to get me some boxes?

Please can someone help in having the strangest what I guess are side effects pins needless in head hands tight band in head feels like I'm going to pass out head feels like it's going to pop veins up in arms i feel rubbish been on them 2month never experienced anything like this should I remove it

?

I’m with Paddyann, Evorel Conti turned me back to the woman I used to be , and I would walk over hot coals to get my supply! Fully intend to stay on them indefinitely.

Hi my first time on here i was put on HRT patches for palpitations and hot flushes I’ve been on them now for over 3 weeks . Although my palpitations and hot flushes calmed down I keep having really bad headaches dizzy spell and all down one side of my face feels swollen . Paracetamol or Co codamol do not help . The Doctor has advised to come off it for a week and see if my headaches clear up . I was just wondering did anyone else suffer with this while on HRT patches and if so how long did it last would it of gone away after a few more weeks or did I do right thing coming off it ?
