The thing is both docs are right - in other words it's the "wrong" balance between oestrogen and the progestogen which can lead to bleeding. The first thing to do is to get the dose of oestrogen right that eliminates your symptoms to the level you want - so if it's flushes and sweats - then you need a high enough dose to ensure they are banished. You won't be able to tell this ( if this was what led you to restart HRT) for a few weeks maybe - although you should begin to feel the benefit in days. Once you've got the oestrogen dose right the progestogen dose needs to be sufficient to prevent bleeding and keep the endometrium ( womb lining) thin.
Unfortunately this can take up to 6 months. You are taking an unusual combo ie higher oestrogen dose than is licensed for the patch, so it may well turn out not to be enough progestogen even if the oestrogen dose suits you. Only time will tell. Perhaps your specialist or GP will refer you for a scan earlier?
May I ask when you last took HRT, what was it and did you have a bleed afterwards or perhpas you had a sacn at some point? The reason I ask is maybe your womb lining built up a little on the previous HRT unbeknownst to you, and the addition of progestogen is causing it to become unstable and shed.
Hopefully you are feeling better and your bleeding will stop soon
