Gynae op and HRT patch expert required!

[crackfoxy]

I'm booked for a minor gynae op on the 30th. Period is due on 26th so it's likely bleeding will have stopped. However I want to be sure as it may be rescheduled.

Im on evorel sequi - currently have a conti patch on and another 2 patches to go before switching to evorel 50. Is there a way of switching the patches around a bit to make my period come a bit earlier?

Thanks

Depending on the op and what they are doing, having a bleed may not be an issue. If it was they would have told you ?

If you want to delay the bleed, you need to keep using the estrogen only patches longer. The bleed usually starts 2-4 days after the last patch containing progesterone, so you can work out when to start those to fit your op.

Thanks Jingling. Much appreciated
