I came off the BCP 5 weeks ago and had quite a heavy (well, for me) withdrawal bleed a few days later.
Despite then going back onto 50mg patches my mood has been consistently very low, with none of the usual 'good days/week' I usually have.
I didn't bother taking any Utro on Days 15-26 as I assumed my own progesterone would kick in and cause a natural period.
Except it hasn't! I had a few period like cramps last week but nothing happened. It's now been 30 days of this cycle with zero sign of a period arriving. I have never gone this long between bleeds either before HRT or when I was on it.
I'm wondering if I just won't have a period this time, and maybe this is why my mood has stayed very low for the last month?
I am seeing my GP to get a repeat script for HRT, and I'll start the Utro after Boxing Day to shed my womb lining.
Or alternatively I don't know whether to not bother with any Utro and just keep pre loading with patches until I see Annie Evans in 10 weeks time.
Any advice from you lovely ladies?
