Hi Ladies, the doc has prescribed me Estraderm Patches for my menopause symptoms. Can any of you tell me if you have used these and how was it for you? How long did it take to kick in? Any side effects?

Strange but im kinda looking forward to getting started and getting my life back!!

Many thanks x

      I'm on the gel (oestrogel) and it suits me well. I played about with doses after 3 months feeling it was not quite enough. I take an extra squirt every other day and that suits me well. Speak to your GP if you unsure but you need to give it chance to be in your system first with recommended dose for at least few months. Good luck
