@gravity3 I am finishing the first month of Combipatch 0,05/0.25 DIS (NV)#8. My cost was $135. I have BC/BS insurance. I have asked on this site how to get it for less. So far, my side effects are redness from the patch glue and breast tenderness. All tolerable.

@seapen

Ask the pharmacy if they have a drug discount program orig they know of one.

@seapen just my two cents but I was on HRT and experienced breast tenderness and within a year I had a callback from my mammogram. The estrogen had stimulated abnormal excessive growth in my mammary ducts. I had a biopsy and subsequent lumpectomy to get rid of tve area of abnormal growth. Known as Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH) and can become a precursor to breast cancer. The breast tenderness is an effect of the estrogen and may indicate the dosage is too strong. Check with your doctor.

@seapen My HRT is also very expensive through my insurance due to high deductible. I’ve been using GoodRx for a much lower cost. 0.05% estradiol 2x weekly patch is around $32 mos and 100 mg Progesterone runs me about $42 for a 90 day supply.

@seapen Also a little bleeding today. Going for a pelvic ultrasound.
