Please talk to me about HRT patches

Hi all- hope you dont mind another to join the menopausal threads, have found alot of what Ive read very helpful and comforting! My periods have been behaving very randomly over the year, one probably every 3 months or so, and I have all the lovely symptoms of night sweats, lack of sleep, irritability, like being premenstrual all the time - what a cruel trick to play on women, I say.

I have a history of very heavy periods and have had several gynae ops, plus high blood pressure, so am considering the HRT patch route - is anyone out there using them and can you explain how they work and if they suit you? Don'treally want to take tablet form and ideally not have any more bleeds, so would this be the right route. Don't feel I am coping that well naturally, so need some advice from those in the know ( my GP is very young and looks at me as if I'm from another planet sometimes!). Thanks :)

Hi started evorel sequi on the 13 May. Finshed my month Monday no bleed yet. On my first patch on second box. But realised I put my first ever patch the week after my normal period. Instead of fist day of period. Think I might have really muddled things up.

Hi I was taking hrt tablet form and was great couldn't get them any more an was put on evorel patches omg I was severely depressed. Went bac docs he gave me propananol 2 calm me down and said stick with them a bit longer,so u do cos doc no best. I couldn't cope with life it was terrible. I made my own decision to take patch of and within 20 mins I went from dreading life to going about my day with no fear whatsoever. I really can't stress how vivid the change was. Just be aware if you start to feel this way as I've never looked back I wud rather suffer any amount of hot sweats than ever feel like I did. Hope this helps anyone who is feeling this way.
