Help with Evorel 50 / Conti patches box

[JulesAT47]

Hi Ladies,
Im new to these patches - 1st box :/ - I hadn't stopped my periods yet and the GP put me on them as had low oestrogen symptoms (ok all good there). But.......
I got through the first 4 Sequi patches, put on my first Conti and the next day got my period! like full on period. HELP!
I have tried to contact the GP but as I'm travelling the time difference prevents me from calling her at call in time :( and I dont know what to do....
Has anyone had this experience before??
Did you keep going with the Conti patches right to the end of the box?? (so also continue with the period for two weeks?! ) or did anyone do anything else.
All comments welcome as I'm completely out of my depth here and have noone to ask
Thx in advance J

That's completely normal. You will have a period lasting a few days. The combination of patches are designed to give you a bleed. Have you read the leaflet that comes in the box? It explains it all in there.

Bit confusing. Are you on continuous combined patches or sequential? If you still have periods it ought to be sequential. You'd normally have a bleed when you have finished one box of patches- so it's a 4-week cycle. If you have had a period before that, it's likely to be your own natural period, not yet being controlled / overridden by HRT.
