Evorel Sequi patches just aren't working after almost 3 months - what next?

[BuckyBarnesArm]

Still have insomnia, achiness, horrendous PMT (worse in fact). I feel and sleep better, marginally, when I'm on the progesterone patches but worse on the oestrogen part. Should I ask for the gel and tablets next? I'm ready to give up on HRT altogether as I feel so disappointed 😫

Go back and ask to try the gel and utrogestan. The patches had minimal effect on me so after 12 weeks my gp switched me to estrogel and utrogestan, and I gave myself a larger dose of estrogen than was in my patch and I saw a huge improvement after a few weeks. Now I feel great. Don't give up!

What does are you on? Can you get stronger patches?

I'm on the 50 patches. I was wondering if that was too strong actually! Since I felt worse! I have no idea how it works. But I feel shittier on the oestrogen, that's definitely a pattern.
