thank you so much for your reply. i am just so fed up as the bleeding is frightening and I have no idea how I will cope in Greece. I am 57 and unbelievably had not stopped my periods when I went on HRT. I was still having regular periods but they were now every three months but like clockwork. I was having terrible problems with flushing and sweating, nothing like any of my friends. I had no sleep at all for two years. I was determined not to take HRT but had to give in. At first my doctor put me on only the patches and no ultrogestan. These made me bleed one week on and one week off. However, the bleeding was light but it was a nuisance. I was then referred to the consultant who put me on a higher dose of oestragen as my flushes were still around. I am taking two ultrogestan tablets each night when I take them which bring my dose up to 200 mg a day. I'm just to worried as the holiday in Greece is a walking/snorkelling holiday and I have no idea how to do this when bleeding very badly. They have done a scan of my womb and thankfully nothing is wrong. It's just so nice to here that somebody else had similar problems.
I hadn't thought of just stopping the HRT for a month. Although I would have awful hot flushes at least hopefully I would be able to go to greece.
Thank so much for your reply.
