Feeling really poorly
«

I'm on the first month of my new hrt elleste duet. I'd completed 7 months of femseven conti but stopped due to incredibly heavy bleeds every 2 weeks.
I started spotting as soon as I took the green tablets (you take 21 estrogen and 7 progesterone). Today is the start of day 1 packet 2. I've got horrific cramps, and the bleeding is so heavy. I've gone through 10 extra thick sanitary pads and it's flooding through my clothes. I fainted last month when I had similar and today I've had the same but stopped before passing out and went to lie down.
I'm really not sure what to do now. The hrt makes me feel so much better until I bleed then it's unbearable.
Any suggestions?

I'd suggest an appointment with your GP would be in order to investigate possible causes for excessive bleeding such as fibroids etc. also they can prescribe Tranexamic acid to help stem the bleeding and also check you for anaemia. X

scoobylyn - you may have fibroids or if you are peri meno your lining might be building up quite a bit. It sounds to me as though you would be a good candidate for having a Mirena fitted as this usually sorts out problematic bleeding and keeps everything stable. Discuss this with your GP. Dg x

Bank Holiday weekend so do ring your Sugery for advice in the morning! You shouldn't have to put up with such symptoms!
