I started Femoston tablets about 3 months ago and had to switch to patches due to horrendous bloating and have now been on them since. I have gone back to a period every 3 weeks (as it was a few years ago before I was 7 monthly for just over a year) and the pain is like it was back in the old days and even though I'm not heavy, its very black and thick and lasts for about 3 days (sorry to be so graphic). I also feel like I've got flu each time and get the most horrendous night sweats during this time so sleeping is minimal

I had an endometrial ablation about 8 years ago so haven't had a big period since, just had a show, so this is quite a shock to the system. I was also told that I would only get a show whilst being on patches. Should I be concerned? I have got a blood test and doctors appointment next month but just wondered if I was worrying over nothing.
