[quote=Anonymous]I put my pants on my very lower back/ top of my butt. Do you want to put it in fat. As how you feel it, they say it takes eight or so weeks to feel the full effects, I think that’s true, but you may feel something right away.

Hopefully your doctor started you on a low-dose patch. If you are in full menopause, this is likely not enough, and you might not feel all that much from it. You may need to increase your dose a couple times. However, do it gradually. Leveling up sooner than eight weeks or so could be too shocking to your system.

You may get to a point around 4 to 8 weeks in where your breasts are very, very sore, like extremely. They feel full and heavy like when you were breast-feeding. This is temporary. Just get through it.

Also, for me, although hormones have helped a lot, they are not a magic cure. If you’re not eating right, exercising and strength training, and paying attention to sleep, you won’t get anywhere, they are not negotiable. Aside from that, I was hoping estrogen would just solve everything, but I still have issues that need to be addressed in other ways.
