Evorel and nausea

3 replies

I have recently changed from Oestrogel to Evorel patches. I initially started on 100mcg to match the [alleged] Oestrogel dose but have been cutting them down as I was getting very sore breasts, nausea, and that slightly jittery too myuch oestrogen feeling, and have settled on about 60mcg (5/8ths of a 100mcg patch) which controls peri symptoms.
My breasts are now ok, maybe slightly tender, but the nausea is still a problem. Please can someone reassure me that it will go away?

Yes it will go away I had it when first started along with the runs and indigestion all gone now. You may only need 50 or 75 patch now as you may absorb it better .

Thanks. I felt ok yesterday, but a bit sick again today, so hopefully it will go away soon!

I had exactly the same when I went on estrogel but I'm fine on patches! Funny. It must be the change in dose as our bodies absorb estrogen differently depending on the type we use.
I would stick with the cut down patch for a bit and see how you get on. Good luck.
