Estradot: Evorel

Hi
Do any of you find that you absorb Estradot patches better than evorel?

I don't think I'm absorbing much of the Evorel 75 patch ( been using for well over two years ). I've got a review in little over a week and was thinking of asking to trial Estradot instead.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

I've recently switched from Evorel to Estrodot. I can't say I've noticed a difference in absorption but I do prefer the Estrodot because they're so much smaller. They stick really well but they're less than half the size of the equivalent Evorel patch.

I have used both and can't really tell the difference between them to be honest. Supply is a huge issue with Estradot at the moment, the Evorel ones - although much bigger and much crinklier - are easier to get hold of.

I'm not 100% sure but I suspect so. Annoyingly, as hard to find

I'd been struggling on a higher patch on everol (75 and 25) and managed to find 100 estrodot. Noticed the difference within a day. that of course could have been as it was a full patch. Or had finally kicked in. Though in the past when I had to move to everol I did wonder if estradot were more effective for me.

I do find it hard to properly gauge as I don't think I'm fully sorted yet.

Somewhere on menopause matters there was a thread where they said there was 1 molecule difference between the chemicals in either; to me it's probably to do with size/ delivery mode. There do seem to be threads there where people notice differences and prefer one over another.

I’ve been on Estradot for about two years but with shortages now I’ve been given Evorel and think I must absorb this better as am getting migraines for the first two days of a new patch going on. Hoping the doc gives me helpful advice next week on what to do.
