Hi maggiemck - I hope it works for you but wondering why you have been given Kliovance because the continuous preparation is supposed to be for post-menopausal women, ie have not had a period for 12 months? If you are not post-meno then it is possible your own hormones may still be fluctuating and therefore your cycle may break through and you could get irregular bleeding. Was this explained to you?
Personally at your position I would start on a cyclical HRT - in fact I was your age and without period for 5 months when I began HRT and was given a cyclical type for that reason. If you start HRT when peri-menopausal under age 54 then the doctors can transfer you to the conti type at age 54 - to see if this is OK ( ie no bleeding), but not at your stage.
The other disadvantage of starting on a conti type is, if it disagrees with you you won't know if it could be the progestogen in the tablets or what, and on a cyclical type you only take the progestogen for two weeks.
If you have had endometriosis or have fibroids then this could be a reason for prescribing conti I think.
