Am trying patches now as after a year on spray, my symptoms have come back.

The joint pain, inability to sleep passed 5:30, anxiety, mood swings, palpitations are a killer.

One month into everol 50 & feeling slightly calmer, but really achy.

I hated Utrogestan so it's great taking the progesterone via patch & not having to stuff capsules up me for 2 weeks out of every month.

But I think i need more Oestrogen. My question is, can I get patches with a higher dose of oestrogen & still take the progesterone this way?

As in, through the patches not Utrogestan.

I am also not keen on the coil idea.

I’m now on 100 patches but take ultragesterone orally. I hated the progesterone patches - they made me really headachey

I can't take Utrogestan orally

Do the 75's not combine either?
