Increasing HRT

4 replies

Hi,
Last week I increased my HRT from Evorel 75 to 100. Has anyone else had tingling arm and breast pain- going right into the armpit, since they increased their HRT?
Thanks😊

I’m also on Evorel but have increased from 50-75 a couple of weeks ago. No side effects at all.
Are you applying your patches below the waist? Only asking because I saw a thread the other day saying apply to the arm!

I’m on evorel 50 but have started having some symptoms again, ie, hot flushes at night, itchiness, etc.
would and increase to 75 help do you think?

I am only on it 3 mths and the first 2 mths of taking the progesterone for 14 nights I had horrible shooting pain in side of breast and armpit, like an electric shock or if someone was sticking a clothes hanger into it but thank god has gone now. Think it is just the surge in hormones and it will calm down, hope you feel better soon.

I have some pains inside of one breast when taking progesterone but it seems to go away when i stop taking it. I am on Oestrogel and Utrogestan
