Hi there,
While on Birth control patch few women may experience breast discomfort, breast pain and enlargement of the breasts. This patch contains approximately 60 percent more estrogen compared to other hormonal contraceptive. Estrogen causes some of the glands in the breast tissue to swell .Birth control patch causes consistent release of estrogen which causes elevated estrogen levels throughout the body making the breasts become larger.
cysts of ovaries, depression, dizziness, hair loss are more common with implanon.Evra patch contains more of estrogen compared to implanon. The major problem or disadvantage with the patch is that it can increase the risk of blood clot formation more than the conventional pill. Failure rates of evra patch are more compared to implanon.It is necessary to ensure that the woman will have maximum benefit with least side effects.
Hello,
All your symptoms are the side effects of the birth control ortho evra patch. The Ortho Evra birth control patch releases a high amount of estrogen into the bloodstream—60% more than from birth control pills—which is known to increase the risk for blood clots.These blood clots occlude the blood vessels as thrombi and if they get dislodged and occlude the blood vessels at some other site,they are called emboli.
Hi! I have low estrogen and normal FSH (I'm 38, though). My course of action is to wear an estrogen patch from 3 days after ovulation to 12 days after ovulation (since that's when mine is dropping off). I have heard of (and tried it once, but didn't like how I felt) that the patch can also be worn during CD8-12 to help with low estrogen. My acupuncturist told me that the patch is the most similar to actual estrogen (versus pills) so I pushed for that!
I also think I am less healthy because of the effects of lack of hormones. I have tried to combat the side effects and did remain hormone free, but now I wonder if I made the right choice. I didn't anticipate having to deal with all of these other health issues so soon. Then again, maybe HRT wouldn't have made a difference. But, it sure does feel like a no win situation. It is hard to know which choice is bad and which one is worse.
I was supposed to start my estrace (E2) patch today (10 DPO) and then onto an IVF stim at the beginning of next AF. So this morning, I stuck one of the patches (.1mg) on my left rear cheek and after about 6 hours, I had very bad chest pains. I have never felt like that before. It hurt badly to take deep breaths and I was just lying on the bed afraid to move because my chest was hurting so much.
Hello, my wife had a full hysterectomy approximately 10 years ago and everything was taken out, EVERYTHING. She had a few cysts and her gynecologist suggested a full hysterectomy due to the fact that the cysts could come back if she were to get a a half hysterectomy. Long story short, she's a strong woman who really keeps it together but she has recently expressed that she's been battling depression.
I am on a patch too - I am not sure of your brand, but mine is bio-identical and just that it bypasses the liver means less side effects. The side effects are typically caused by too much or too little of the hormone. Have you consulted an endocrinologist to see how your hormones are as you may need a thyroid increase or other medication and you then may not need depression and anxiety medications.
Hi, I had a total hysterectomy on April 20 (3 months ago). I had my uterus, ovaries, cervix and tubes removed due to fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometrosis (found during the operation). I also scheduled a urologist to come in after the hysterectomy and perform a bladder suspension. I'm 55 years old and prior to surgery I had not stopped bleeding on a regular basis, so the hysterectomy was my "menopause".
so i personally recomend it I use the Vivelle patch its a small dime size patch I put on lower belly two times per week...I have no negative side effects at all.
You may request gettting hormones checked you wont have any from ovaries..the pararthyroid adrenal and thyroid all produce levels that can be checked..
I'm 48, had hysterectomy 10 yrs ago but still have my ovaries. Started having sever hot-flashes so my doctor put me on the Vivelle Dot. It took care of the hot-flashes but caused me to gain 10 pounds in a 6 week period. My doc said the weight gain was from menopause. Well, I took the patch off 2 weeks ago and threw it away, and I have now lost 6 of those pounds and feel much better. I think it was causing depressiont too.
Hello, I was just reading about an older dog having a problem with urinary incontinence and the treatment she was given, particularly the possible side effects. My White Bearded Collie (13 years old) started being incontinent last year and my vet has prescribed INCURIN 1mg daily. This has been mostly effective (just the odd occurrence when she was asleep or distressed). I was just concerned that it may have some serious side effects such as those mentioned for the other treatment (PPA).
I feel so much better except for the fact I am falling asleep left and right! Will this side effect go away? Thats the only negative side effect I am finding... that and the patch peels off especially if I am outside in the sun doing yardwork and sweating. I have had two patches fall off already and I am not sure how to explain this to my doctor. I just brought a waterproof clear patch thing that can go over it. It helps a little bit.
But the exhaustion is just insane.
s known to have sexual side effects. This may include adjusting or changing your current medications or starting treatment for previously undetected conditions.
Estrogen therapy. Systemic estrogen therapy — by pill, patch or gel — can have a positive effect on brain function and mood factors that affect sexual response.
I just read your post and had to sign up to participate on this site. I have been on Tamoxifen a year now. I chose to do it without Effexor or any other meds to combat the side effects. Yeah, some days were tough, but I got through them. I've been feeling pretty normal since January or so. My oncologist had talked to me about doing the shots to shut down my ovaries too.
I had a hysterctomy almost 3 years ago at the age of 35 for a borderline serous tumor. My oncologist put me on an estrogen replacement patch and I have been using them ever since. With all the stuff in the news lately about HRT and their new findings, I would love to know your opinion. Are these studies only on women who have gone through natural menopause or do they also include women who were put into surgical menopause at a young age?
I am very sore at my incision site, which is inexplicably on my left side, even though they took the right ovary and the dermoid was on the right side (any insight into that mystery would be awesome).
How much of this is due to hormone adjustments? Anyone suffering from the same symptoms? If so, how long does it last? I didn't really expect this sort of reaction, and my doc did not discuss it with me beforehand. Any anecdotes or commiseration is welcome!
