HRT Patches and thyroid Meds

I started Evorel Conti patches today after having a consultation with a meno specialist - just half a patch until I am brave enough to go a whole one.

Have been reading that they may affect my thyroid levels and I might have to tweak my meds.

Anyone please?

Transdermal patches apparently won't affect thyroid hormone as much as HRT oral tablets.
