Those are Estradot patches, right? Their 100 mcg/24 hours patches contain 1.56 mg (or 1560 microgram) in total. The way patches work is that they dispense a certain amount of estrogen per 24 hours, so in this case 100 microgram. You basically never use the entirety of the patch because the amount of estrogen it dispenses drops off after a few days. A 100 mcg patch changed twice a week (every 3 to 4 days) is pretty much the standard dosage. Changing them 4 times a week seems a bit weird to me, because there's no benefit, while being more expensive because your patches don't last as long.
Any place below the waist where the skin doesn't fold is a good place to put the patch. Like your hip, lower stomach or upper buttocks. I tend to alternate between two spots to lessen any irritation on my skin, and to give it some time breathe. Never put the patch on your breasts though, because that can actually increase your chance of getting breast cancer.
Yeah, I was really wondering about that 4 times a week thing, because it was contrary to everything else I ever heard, but if it comes from a doctor I tend to trust it a bit more. If it really does not make a difference though I will stop doing that, since I can only get refills every few months.
