At any point since the age of 55 and with all this bleeding did you have an investigation to check your womb lining for reasons for the heavy bleeding - such as fibroids, polyps or endometriosis ( not sure if this would become apparent late in life?)? A minority of women do have a late menopause but it's always good to be checked out if bleeding is heavy.
I am not surprised you were bleeding randomly with Femoston conti and 2 mg extra oestrogen - what was the doctor thinking? Of course the progestogen would be insufficient because the femoston conti is balanced to prevent bleeding in most women.
I would actually ask to be investigated now personally - because you are probably still getting bleeding because the lining has built up when you were taking 3 mg oestrogen if I understand correctly (the Femoston 1 mg + the Climaval 2 mg and then Climaval 1 mg) - which is way too much and especially for someone of your age ( 60?). This is actually very irresponsible of the doctor who doesn't seem to know what's going on - so I would insist on the investigation even while taking the HRT - to check the thickness of your lining.
I agree that once you have been investigated and all is OK, if the Mirena suited you, then ask to have another one fitted as Dancinggirl says - and then you can add oestrogen until your symptoms settle - and not have to worry about additional progestogen.
In the circumstances you shouldn't need to stop the HRT - but do go to your doc re being referred for U/S scan and preferable trans-vaginal at same time.
