Hi ladies,
Thanks for all your replies - Hurdity, don't know if I'm post meno or not but at 53, I guess I probably am? I've been on various forms of sequential HRT for the past 5 years and before that, my periods were erratic (usually about one every 3 months or so). I had an ovary removed about 8 years ago, don't know if that's got anything to do with it. Strange thing is, when I was having normal periods pre meno, they were perfectly normal. It's only when I became peri menopausal and then went on HRT that the horrendous bleeds started. I've never been checked out for fibroids but when I had a scan 8 years ago just before I had an ovarian cyst removed (and subsequently the ovary too), the nurse at the clinic told me there were fibroids present.
I stupidly thought "no bleed HRT" meant just that so imagine my delight when I started bleeding - heavily - 3 days ago after having just been on my new treatment for 2 weeks.
Oh well, I'll persevere for a week or so and see how it goes. It's still really heavy today but I've got more energy than I had over the w/end and haven't had any stomach cramps so perhaps things are settling down a bit. It's certainly no worse than when I was on sequential HRT.
Menopause and getting old is no fun
