Having been on half an Evorel conti patch for over 5 years and at the end of last November using the whole patch, I am now experiencing soreness with both nipples. Does anyone know how long this will continue? also is it due to too much eostrogen?

    It is the oestrogen that causes the nipples to be sore. It commonly happens in pregnancy when the oestrogen levels are raised. It is possibly due to the higher levels of oestrogen in your blood stream. If it doesn't subside in another month and is annoying you I think your doseage needs reviewing.

      Thanks Matron, you are always so helpful. It only started a few days ago, so I will give it another month or so.

      Oh yes it's early days pat. Your body will no doubt get used to the increase in oestrogen
