Hey everyone! Quick question, I’m switching from patches to pills (estradiol) - wondered if anyone had any advice on dosages?

I use Evorel 100 patches (changed twice a week), I assume the dosage isn’t like 1 to 1. Sorry! And thanks for any advice. Elle

    As others have said, you’ll likely land somewhere between 4-6 mg a day. How you space it out will largely be up to you, as I took 6 mg a day; I was taking 2mg 3x a day. Once in the morning, once after work, and once before bed. With 50mg of spiro thrown in. I could probably do without the spiro now to be honest.

    My levels were:

    2mg a day: 68 pg/ml

    4mg a day: 146 pg/ml

    6mg a day: 282 pg/ml

    I was asked to bump down my dose to 5mg since it was so high at my last test. So I’m taking 5mg a day now.
