@psmnonna I am just starting the patch along with Tymlos and can't figure out where the heck to put it since they say it has to be 2 inches away from any current or future injection sites and I rotate the Tymlos all around my abdomen (esp. use lower area ). I 'm trying to avoid butt because I use a heating pad on my lower back and was told never put high heat near the patch. Where did you put yours? Thank you so much and hope you are doing well!

@lp30 Hi girls, I put my patches along my lower panty line, leaving the belly for shots. Have tested my estradiol levels and this seems to be a good spot...good absorption.

I started out using the weekly patch at the time I was still on Tymlos. Those things are huge, so I did use my rear for those. When I was able to change to the twice weekly patches, those are very small so I just rotated those around my abdomen and shot elsewhere. Usually shot up and down and middle on the opposite side of the patch. I switch the patch from left to right side, so then just did the opposite side for the shots. When the patch was in the middle I could use both left and right sides for a few days. I change the patch on Mondays and Thursdays, so really everthing got rotated around quite a bit. Hope this helps and makes sense! Good luck!!
