Hi I am looking for a little bit of advice, I have been on everol sequi patches for just over 3 yrs, for the past few months I have had irregular bleeding sometimes lasting up to three weeks. Before I started hrt, I had been having irregular periods and hot flushes and night sweats, but my periods hadn't stopped completely.
Anyway I was referred to a gynaecologist today and he had a little look with a ultra sound camera and has said I have thickening of the wall of the womb, and I need to go for a d & c I have asked to have an epidural as I have had a bad experience with general anisthetic. He told me best to stop the hrt, so I have, but I go on holiday tomorrow and I am dreading these sweats again. What can I buy that might work over the counter ? And has anyone out there had this problem any advice most grateful. Thank you

Oh this is probably too late unless you are connected to the Forum whilst on holiday!

Have a read of the menus, left of screen.  It may be that your 'normal' hormones are over-riding the HRT but break-through bleeding should always be investigated.

Let us know how you get on!

Hi, yes sorry I went on holiday, day after. I am going into hospital for investigative surgery on 27th aug so I should find out what's going on, hopefully nothing sinister. Since stopping the hrt I haven't bled at all. I think hrt is a mine field and I don't think the everyday GP knows enough about it, as it's changing all the time. There should be a doctor in every surgery that specialises in womans problems.
