Blood work is good, mood and general well-being is great so mood and genenral well being of the family is also good! Patch stickes well on clean, dry and lotion/powder free skin. Otherwise adhesive can fail. Have tried to do without the patch and will last only about a week before the hotflashes, mood issues and feeling of malaise take over. I enjoy life with it too much to do without it.

Had to have a complete hysterectomy mid-year 2012. My Dr. recommended this for estrogen replacement vivelle dot .05 mg patch. I am 57 and just want to enjoy my life! I would highly recommend vivelle dot. I don't suffer from complete vaginal dryness or pain. I feel really good, with no complaints other than I have some swelling but I can live with that.

Estrogen is so important to your body to have it replaced after a complete hysterectomy. Good luck to anyone who isn't feeling at their best. If you've walked in my shoes, medically speaking, talk to your Dr. about vivelle dot. I hope it helps you as well.

I tried Vivelle dot after using another patch immediately after surgery. I initially really liked the Vivelle dot. Its' smaller and seemed to work well. My main complaint was the adhesive is not consistent. Some patches stick and others fail within a day or so. I would run out of a box before the month was out and have to go refill out of pocket, as insurance wont cover extras. Lately I have ... Show Full Comment

I tried Vivelle dot after using another patch immediately after surgery. I initially really liked the Vivelle dot. Its' smaller and seemed to work well. My main complaint was the adhesive is not consistent. Some patches stick and others fail within a day or so. I would run out of a box before the month was out and have to go refill out of pocket, as insurance wont cover extras. Lately I have had issues with overall efficacy. Some patches feel like either too much or too little estrogen is being delivered. I have checked and rechecked dose on box and individual packets to make sure a mistake hadn't been made when filling the Rx. I am having heart racing, loss of focus and vaginal dryness issues and am going to have to find an alternative to the patch. I came online today to see if others were having efficacy issues with the Vivelle dot.

Have used the patch for several years (0.1). Good alternative to oral med but patch adhesive does not work consistently.
