I am 43 and I had a total abdominal hysterectomy on Monday 12/19/16 and they gave me a hormone shot Tuesday evening and started me on Estradil .01 patch on Wednesday. I changed it yesterday. How long does it generally take to get leveled out with these patches. I have no appetite and my stomach feels jittery. I think it's too much estrogen, my doctors office said it's too low. I have read that some people function better with lower estrogen. They say not to focus so much on such a high estrogen level, but as to how you feel. Some positive feedback would be great.
Hi I'm on the same patches as you and don't get any side effects only thing is they make you a bit bloated I'm going back to doctors in Jan to continue on them as they suit me I eat healthily as these sort of things can make you put weight on but so far I'm OK with them I had mine in Nov 2015 hysterectomy
Did you have a total hysterectomy too? Do you remember how long it took for them to level out? Today makes a week since my surgery, but only 5 days with the patch. Did you feel a little anxious at first? Thank you for your response.
I've been on mine since nov before I tried a gel and tablets yes I had a total hysterectomy
Thank you. I'm feeling better today. Still no appetite yet.
Thats understandable it takes time to recover take one day at a time
Thank you.
