Tracking estradiol patch — once-weekly
One patch, one weekday, once a week. Like all transdermal estradiol it bypasses the liver's first pass, so it is not associated with the clot risk of oral estrogen in large studies.

What to log
- One fixed weekday is easy to keep — and easy to check. Log the change on the day it happens, including the times you slipped to the next morning.
- Rotate where the patch sits and note irritation with a site: skin reactions are product-and-place specific.
- A whole week on one patch means a long window to watch: if the same symptom keeps clustering late in the patch week, that timing is worth capturing precisely.
Questions
Is a late weekly patch change worth recording?
Yes — record what actually happened. A record that shows the patch went on Saturday instead of Thursday, next to how you slept that week, is precisely the kind of detail that makes a 15-minute appointment productive.
Can Perity remind me without broadcasting what I take?
Reminders are scheduled on your phone — never pushed from a server — and worded generically on purpose. What you take is your business, not your lock screen's.
