Something I have often thought of....when we are pre menopausal our cycles are determined by various hormones doing their thing at different times of the month.
Once we hit menopause and start using HRT, we try to mimic that cycle, for those ladies that use it cyclically, we use Progesterone and after stopping it, a bleed is initiated by the drop in Progesterone, in a similiar fashion to what would have taken place pre meno days.
But what tells our bodies after a certain number of days, to stop the bleeding?
My pre meno bleed was always approx 7 days and I have noticed my HRT induced bleed is pretty much the same and then it tapers off by itself, is it when all the lining is shed or is it another factor that ends the bleed?
