Evorel conti forgot to change a patch

[rebeccaswann]

Hopefully someone can help me. I was on Everol 50 and utrogestan for 3 months. The doctor changed my regime then because it was all ok but the progesterone knocked me out. I sort of passed out at night and woke up dizzy. The doctor thought I had an extreme reaction to that level of progesterone. I have been on Everol Conti now for about 3 weeks. My point about the above is that I have been on hormones for poss 4 months now. All seems fine but yesterday I removed the patch and forgot to replace it for about 14 hours. I was fine. Today I have woken up dizzy and shaky. It is 12 hours since I applied the patch so I would think that my body had absorbed the hormones again but I feel really bad. Obviously it could be something else but I think it is some sort of withdrawal. What does anyone think? I am 54 and definitely more than 2 years since last period. I feel bad today and am assuming it is this. Has anyone else had a problem when forgetting to put on a patch? Thank you

Could be something else, and just coincidence that you'd forgotten your patch, but you've replaced it now, so you can't do any more.
Have you looked at patient information leaflet in the patch box: it should tell you what to do if you miss a change.

@allaglow Thank you. It just says to apply as soon as you remember to change if you forget to change a patch. This scenario isn't listed. I am convinced it was a form of withdrawal. Really horrid. I am fine today and was ok last night but had a really horrid 12 hours during the day when I was shaky and dizzy. Just posted to see if anything similar had happened to anyone else.

Glad you're feeling better.
All well now, then. You won't forget again!
