Hi becca
Sorry to hear you HRT regime is not working for you - yes I have heard that Prof Studd's regime is pretty much one-size fits all with very little variation and when it doesn't work women sometimes have not been given satisfactory alternatives. others (for whom the regime works) worship the ground he treads

(to be fair his research was pioneering at the time!).
Were you not peri-menopausal when you started on the HRT? I agree if you were having regular periods and for them to stop after this treatment is bizarre! How much utrogestan are you taking? Lack of bleeding is usually due to the progesterone doing its job and the womb lining not building up sufficiently on the cyclical regime. If you are still ovulating and also taking progesterone in addition you would expect a bleed. However if you've been scanned and the lining is fine then the prog must be doing its job and maybe the amount of oestrogen you are taking is suppressing ovulation - however that usually only happens at high levels!!! If the experts can't explain it then we are surely at a loss?!
How old are you? I have only ever used Estradot patches and utrogestan - now on a 6-8 week cycle because I am old and well post-meno, and also a little blob of T - but then I need it at my age/stage!
It's a pity Annie Evans has retired.....there is Nick Panay in London and various top gynaes in Scotland + others seen by various members on here. You can do a search if you go to very top (blue font - specialists) and private and NHS clinics are mentioned. Not sure if there is a site for rating gynaes - but there should be! I definitely would not go to Marion Gluck!! As far as I know she's not even a medical doctor I don't think and is a bit off beat I think, and charges a ridiculous amount of money.
