Okay, so I had a little bit of a learning curve with my estrogen patches.
Yes, they’re supposed to stick you your skin. But I found for the first couple of days my patches kept falling off.

And not really wanting to miss out on any of my meds, I had to think of something to do to keep these from coming off.
If I could put them on my upper arms like a nicotine patch, that would have worked, but the estrogen patches have to go on either my butt or my lower belly for the best effect.
So I turned to Tegaderm.

I put the patch on, then I put a Tegaderm dressing over top of the patch. And the patches don’t fall off. which is nice.
I don’t want to miss out on any of the meds.
Coming up this Friday I have my first blood test to make sure that my body is handling the estrogen properly.
Hopefully my body is.
Mentally I like the difference in mood.
It’s almost like androgens are a toxin.
