Hi all this is my first post. I Have been looking through the Forum & wondering whether anyone else suffering same or can offer any advice?. I am 55 and approx. 22 months postmenopause. I have been using Estradiol gel 1 pump daily and Utrogestan 100mg daily (vaginally) for about 4 months. After approx. 4 weeks I started to get a very heavy (flooding on second day and night) monthly bleed. I initially took the Utrogestan 25 days on 3 days off. I have since tried continual use and also 12-15 days a month. All of this to no avail. I still am getting a heavy monthly bleed which tapers off completely after 5 or so days. This kind of echos what was my regular monthly cycle prior to menopause. I am really keen on staying on the Estradiol/Utrogestan regime as it has completely eradicated all of the horrendous menopausal symptoms which I was previously experiencing. I would go back to my GP but she had little knowledge around HRT (not yet menopausal herself) and I had to tell her what I wanted (bio-identical).
With thanks & apologies if I have missed a post which dealt with similar previously.
