I am 42 and been having peri menopausal symptoms for about 18 months - hair loss, weight gain, no sex drive, bad sleep. My doctor has put me on evorel patches - has anyone tried these and had any success?

Been on them for about 6 months. I’ve had occasional breast tenderness but they’ve really helped me with perimenopausal symptoms and my libido has increased (hooray!).

I've been on them since August last year. Initially, they seemed to help, but I'm now experiencing intermittent bleeding and hot flushes have resumed.

Started last year. Life changing.
Only side effect was really sore boobs for the first few months and then everything settled down.

Yes! It took ages to find the right HRT for me and Evorel Conti patches were the 'winner.' Been on them for about 7 years now.

Initially sore breasts but soon settled and that was a small price to pay for getting my life back and being able to function at work again. I have previously struggled with hormonal contraceptives so i was wary at first.
