URGENT: Crap, have I taken my Evorel the wrong way around ??

[medianewbie]

Prescribed Evorel Sequi 50 after a gap of last taking it a year ago.
Had a period (1st this year, after 4 last year - I am 55.5 now)

Started Conti patch, now two weeks later about to swap patches to Evorel 50
Have I taken them the wrong way around?
Do I take 2 more weeks of Conti patch, or carry onto the 50 patch please?

Sorry - did read the instructions but no clearer - I've a lot on my mind atm & can't think straight (part of the prob)

Yes, you have been taking the wrong way round. But given your age and the fact that you do not have regular periods you should most likely be on evorel conti (not sequi).
I would phone the GP and ask if you should stay with the sequi and persevere "the wrong way round" or stay on conti given your age and the fact that you do not have regular periods.

Thanks @Madwomanuptheroad29
No chance of even a phone reply from GP in next 2 weeks plus not great anyway (recently 'forgot to send my 2 ww Cancer referral because she 'went on holiday & forgot' - fortunately hospital tests cleared me)

So its a case of what to do for next 2 weeks - better to proceed with the 50 patch part of the treatment or do two more weeks of the conti & then do the 50 or stop & start again in a fortnight? (poor body, sorry...)

Cant get reply from GP.
Anyone got any suggestions, please?

Do I start the 2nd lot of patches or use nothing for 2 weeks & 'start again'?

I accidentally took my second box the wrong way around and ended up on conti for 4 weeks. It was horrible. I would suggest going onto the 50, because the idea is to have 2 weeks of each. You'll then still be on a 2 week on each schedule rather than 4 weeks then 2.

(I hope that makes sense, I'm really tired!)
