"Had preovarian failure at 30. Started on Vivelle-Dot and Prometrium at age 38. Am now 60, and I will never come off. No side effects. I also added testosterone supplement injection, and I am a new person. All this helps with mental stability, weight control, and energy."

"I started premature ovarian failure/menopause at 31, and I'm now 35. I was skeptical of using the patch because of the side effects, so I resorted to other forms of estrogen, like birth control pills and changing my diet. They seemed to only work temporarily, 2-3 months at a time, and then the hot flashes and night sweats came back, along with irritability and no libido. I finally said enough and tried Vivelle, and after 2 weeks, the hot flashes and night sweats were gone. I am currently on the 'week off' of the patch, so far, so good. I can say that the only side effects that I've noticed are weight gain and breast swelling. I would recommend this patch to anyone in a similar situation."

"Anyone experiencing a drop-off feeling using the dot after 2-2 1/2 days? Thought about adding some estradiol gel to the dot for this. Suggestions?"

"I am in my early forties and menopause hit me at an early age. I struggled with whether or not I should go on HRT due to the risks. With that said, the symptoms were creating sheer havoc in my life (severe hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and decreased libido - my poor husband). I am happy to say that after my first application, I slept through the night for the first time in two years! My hot flashes have decreased and I don't have that foggy feeling in my head. I am on Vivelle Dot and a progesterone regimen (light doses). I began Vivelle Dot two weeks ago and would highly recommend it."
