If your natural cycle is not 28 days should you adjust HRT to align with your cycle or force your body into a 28 cycle (in peri)?
Age 57, in peri. Natural cycle is anything from 5 - 7 weeks, usually 5.5 - 6. Before HRT I had four 4 week cycles (never had them that short before) then skipped one and stated Everel sequi at the next period. The first month felt as though my body was doing something (changes I would expect during a normal cycle), it hasn't done since. I have had 3 months on everol and am now in wk 6 of 2 pumps oestrogel/utrogeston so I have the opportunity to adjust the cycle length. My theory (which may be wrong!) is that the first cycle was aligned but now it's completely out of sync. I'm not sure if I can re-align it without stopping HRT but in an attempt to do so I am making this a 6 week cycle. Is this a good idea or not? Just wondered if I have enough progesterone with 12 days in 6 weeks instead of 4. The bleed that has just started is lighter than normal.
It's possible my periods would have stopped without the HRT but the timing seems too much of a coincidence.
