Mine keep pealing off! How can I prevent that please?

@@lorrainehughes156 mine too 😔

😂😂

Yes

I thought this too, as it doesn't say you can put it on those other areas but much better if you can!

@@esthermoore5967 Unfortunately, a year later and I still don't have a definitive answer 😕 I hope you can find one, if you still need it. I can't get the patches in my country anymore - no idea why though, so I've been swapped onto a pill instead. Honestly, it's disgusting that we have to go hunting through online sharing platforms for information which SHOULD be given to us by the manufacturers, our prescribing doctors AND the dispensing pharmacy.

I don't like the feeling of the gel, or standing around naked waiting for it to dry. Also, brain fog means I don't remember to do it every day. It's good that different products suit different people.

I can tell you these patches don't come off, in fact they are quite difficult to get off

@@sharonanderson-eh4on Depends how much cold water swimming you do!

@@louiseleighcomedy I won't be doing that anytime soon lol

Estradot patch doesn't fall off

Yes

No!

No!

In my own experience, it was the menopause and my thyroid that caused my hair loss.

I have the same problem

Make sure the area is dry from natural oils on the skin. (Wipe skin down before applying) If you find the patch does not stay on, considering switching brands. & when showering cover it with a large waterproof bandaid.

@@bellakim9404 hello Bella, is it it a good idea to use a plaster/band aid (sorry I am European!) To secure the patch every day? Fairly worried about it coming off. Thank you in advance.

@@beeeeeesbury I do not cover the patch. I only cover it when I'm showering. If the area is clean and dry before applying, I think you'll be fine

@@bellakim9404 okay, thank you so much!

If you're using gel, it's advisable not to shower or bathe for at least 4 hours after application

Just apply after shower. I normally do in the morning because I shower at night

hey i’m currently transitioning mtf - pills i’ve found make me too nauseous and now i’m trialing 1wk patches! i think pills r a great starting point and moving to patches or injections if you’re made too naseous patches a great swap :)

@@chichi5779 will keep that in mind. Love ya and thank you

Patches or gel are usually prescribed for MtF HRT. Pills/tablets metabolise through the liver. Not normally recommended if there is any (family) history of embolism etc (NB I am not a medical professional, just a user of 14 years+!)

They are oestrogen

Yes, if you have an underline issue

@Just Peachy Hey what do you mean? I was just talking about how I wasn't born with a uterus. It's a simple dice-roll at birth, and plenty of women don't have one.

Is your skin oily? I know some can't wear patches due to irritation or oily skin. I am limited in where I can place my patches due to body hair. I do find the skin where the patch is or was can be very itchy.

I was the same on 50, but now i went up to 0.1mg I feel great.

I lost weight actually.

it stays on fine

Have you managed to find an alternative which doesn't have your hair falling out? I just put my first Estradot patch on tonight and then searched for info (should've done that the other way around I guess) but my hair has been falling out on and off since mid 2019 - before I started menopause. It's falling out again now and it's so thin! I can't lose any more, I know that will be the last straw for me after this year from hell.

@@bellarose-au I know, I sympathise, it's very distressing although I've got so much going on at the moment I'm starting not to care about my hair falling out - in answer to your question it is still falling out. I've started using Regaine although it's too soon to tell if it's working. HRT hasn't really done anything for my migraines apart from reduce the severity but then it might not be that, dificult to tell. I will keep going for another couple of months. One thing which has changed: I have NEVER had pmt or pms, ever but now, in the week before my period comes I feel murderous! Hope you manage to sort your hair loss out. I'm about to book a drastic haircut :(

I had the same issue and changed to using estrogen patches and utrogestan capsules, which are bio identical so should help stop the hair loss

Shower with it..

Lol, not me, I've already had one patch refuse to stick. Might have to get some tape so it adheres to my skin

You don't remove them to shower. They won't re-stick if you fo this.

I have the mayan estradiol patch .. it says to put on lower abdomen or butt. I put it where the lady in video put hers. Is that ok? Will it still work ?
