Evorel 50/Conti bloating and terrible wind

[TellySavalashairbrush]

i am 49. Not sure if I’m still having periods as I take the mini pill which stopped me having periods years ago.
3 months ago I was started on evorel patches as I had terrible trouble with sleeping and achy joints . All was initially good, improved sleep and no achy joints at all. However during that last month, I have really put on weight around my stomach and boobs. Also got the worst wind and flatulence ever! Anyone else experienced this ?

Yes! Was coming on here to ask if anyone was experiencing this too. I’m off on holiday next week and trying to find swimwear that suits has been traumatic 😫
Going to have some peppermint tea this morning to see if that helps.

Thank you for your response, cakelover75 it’s bloomin miserable isn’t it? I hadn’t even considered wearing a swimsuit when I go away in a few weeks 😮.

I'm just about to start on evorel and am now slightly concerned! 😬

i have to say though, for me there’s been such a noticeable improvement in my mood that I’d actually tolerate the bloating. It’s just bad when I’m expecting my period.
