First patch on yesterday. Not coping emotionally today. Really not like me - could the patch be making me cry? Already?
Thanks.

Which patches are you on? I found I became tearful within hours of applying my first of the patches containing progesterone (I was on Evorel Sequi and so I had 2 weeks of oestrogen only patches, then 2 weeks of combined oestrogen and progesterone patches).

Estrderm. It’s just œstrogen.

Well, I certainly felt the effects pretty much straight away when I started with the patches so it could be I suppose (although I felt better with the oestrogen only). It might settle down. Are you taking progesterone in another way or do you not need it?

Progesterone orally

Is the oral progesterone something you’ve just started too?
