Hi Hurdity, thanks for your reply.
I've been on oestrogen only HRT for about 5 years now. Over that time I have seen two different consultants at different times, both giving the same opinion and writing to my GP prescribing oestrogen only HRT, and saying I can remain on the HRT permanently. Most recent exploration this last autumn - recent.
The wall of my uterus is extremely thin. Nothing else was found, except pinpoint bleeding all over the wall by hysteroscopy.
I am on the lowest dose HRT - Kliovance. 1 mg. oestrogen. I did try stronger, Kilofem 2mg.. but it made no difference so I chose to go back to the lower dose. It does reduce the bleeding so it is not every day as it was before treatment which was awful. Also lightens bleeding a bit.
As I understand it, the theory is that the HRT would thicken the uterus wall, but as it remains extremely thin, the thickening effect must be minimal, just enough to improve things a bit.
I do not need progestogen.
As both consultants say same thing, I can't see any point consulting a third one! But it annoys me they think this constant bleeding is ok. By the way, one man, one female consultant.
Oh, yes, I am 65. My menopause was aged 49-50.
