Hrt patches and a holiday help

4 replies

I am on Everol Sequi patches and just finished a cycle. I usual bleed around patch 7 but have worked out in August that will be right in the middle of my holiday. Can I use a couple more estrogen only patches to extend my next cycle. Therefore using 6 Evorel 50 (estrogen only) then 4 combined patches Evorel Conti for just this month. Then go back to my normal 8 patch cycle which would mean my withdrawal bleed should then be at the end of my holiday. My first thought was just to miss two patches and start again in a week with my normal 8 patch cycle but with no hormones in my system for a week I am afraid this would be worse. Please help has someone done this?

Hi Crofts5149 did you try this and if so did it work? Am considering the same for an upcoming holiday...

Hi,

Yes I did, I used two more of the first patches to extend my cycle. I am planning on doing the same this month. I still started my period on patch 3 of the second patches so using more of the first patches just extended that half
of my cycle. Perfect for a holiday
