hRT patches and sensitive breasts

[CormoranStrike]

Has anyone any experience of this? I am approx four weeks into patches and my breast a feel like I am pregnant or have PMT.

Is this a known side effect? And do I persevere or skip the patches?

Yep. My first two months were bloody awful for tenderness, but settled by month three. Stick with it.

I also had some pretty funky dreams for the first couple of months as well that have subsided.
I’m on Evorel.

Yep, really common. Where are you putting the patches? Mine go mid-thigh so basically as far away from my boobs as possible. And I alternate sides every time too.

Evorel here too and mine are quite sore on week 3 and 4. I’ve been on them about 3 months now. Makes sense that this would be a side effect though.

I’ve been putting mine on my hip/bum - is that too high?

Mine were awful for 3 months but then settled down

Yes, it comes and goes for me but is never too awful. Really normal.

I do mine lower, sort of mid thigh. Def not my hip unless I'm swimming or something where I'm showing skin.

Mine were mid thigh - I took it off this week as I couldn’t stand not being able to sleep on my stomach. The whole reason I wanted HrT was to improve my sleep!
