"I was trying to manage my hot flashes/night sweats and trying to function on 3-4 hours of broken up sleep for over 5 years. This, as well as vaginal dryness, was having a negative impact on my quality of life. I have not yet gone a full year without my period, so I am still considered perimenopausal. (I am 54.) The first day on my patch, I had some jittery feelings, which were gone by the next day. Within 15 days, my hot flashes disappeared, and I’m actually sleeping up to 6 hours in a row!!"

"I have been on the patch for 4 months after trying to use estrogen cream, which did not work and made the burning and pain worse. I did not want to try anything else in my vaginal area, so I suggested the patch to my doctor. I like that it is transdermal and does not go directly through my liver. I am on the higher progestin dose, but am now experiencing spotting. I had a uterine biopsy that was negative, but still am spotting. My OBGYN is considering changing my HRT, but I have had success with this patch. Burning and pain that I experienced every day were gone in just 1 week. I used a vaginal moisturizer for a week or so to help speed up the process. I no longer use a vaginal moisturizer. The hot flashes I had are gone, and I can sleep all night without waking up, no more night sweats. It's convenient, but the patch leaves a sticky residue you have to scrub off, but well worth the benefits. My insurance did cover this at a $75.00 co-pay, but the coupon online brought it down to $25.00."
