After 14 months on HRT, my endocrinologist has finally listened to me agreeing that the Estrace pills aren't having much effect. Despite being on the max dose, my E levels continue to be low. So, starting today, I am now reluctantly on patches. I say reluctant as I've heard multiple times that they're a pain in the butt and often fall off. Given my experience with them is roughly 13 minutes, would anyone here be able to share their own experiences? How difficult was it keeping them on? Do they survive showers okay? Any favourite places to stick them? If they start falling off, could I tape them back in place? ...does that even work?
