Estradot or Everol

[Frostytiger87]

Hi , I’ve been using Oestrogel for a number of months & after a routine blood test was told by my menopause Dr that although I’m on four pumps I’m not absorbing it well so she recommended Estradot 100 I’ve just been to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription & I’ve been given Everol
I know that Estradot is soy and everol yam & Estradot is a smaller patch but other than that should I chase it up ? Is there a difference in ingredients

I'm really not sure; some women notice a difference others dont as far as I can tell.

You could trial it? Then try the other? I'm on estrodot. I didn't realise it was soy, I thought they were all the same?

When I started HRT I was on Estradot but they have been out of stock for ages so switched to Everol which I hate as they are huge, have a horrid plastic feel and leave great big red marks for weeks after I've removed them. I'm really glad to have some Estradot this time as they feel tiny in comparison and no irritation, but they aren't quite as sticky, so I need to be careful when applying them.

Sorry I meant to say my understanding is they are the same ingredients, so it doesn't matter which you use.
