I'm 53, been on elleste duet for 3 years. I had night sweats for years before that and other aches etc that were menopausal because they stopped when I started  HRT. Before starting on HRT fsh level was 75. Anyway I'm fed up with the bleeding and PMT  feelings in the few days before. My GP said I could go on continuous HRT  at 53 because that's the average age of menopause. I said I was worried about womb thickening etc if I wasn't fully in menopause. She said if it got too thick I'd bleed anyway.  Do you think it would be ok to go on continuous or wait another few years or stop to see if I am menopausal?  Advice please 🤔

53/54 is often the age used by GPs for swapping to conti but I feel the advice that you would bleed if the lining got too thick is incorrect. If you are worried maybe you could have a scan each year?

On a cautionary note I found that on conti HRT my PMT feelings were there for the whole time due to having continuous progesterone.
