Hello everyone
I am new to this site so not sure this is the right place to post this question ?
I am 44 yrs and started having symptoms of the perimenopause in the last few years. I am now on HRT patches Evorel Sequi 50. This involves having 4 Evorel (Estradiol) patches over 2 weeks and then 4 Evorel Conti patches over the next 2 weeks. The Conti patches contain the Norethisterone which I believe is to stop the thickening of the womb in order to prevent the risk of cancer.
You are meant to have a breakthrough period after the 2 weeks of Conti patches which was happening for me at first when I started the patches in April 2022. However my period started to get later and now I have one at the end of the 2 weeks of the Evorel estradiol patches.
I wonder if this is normal or if I should be concerned. I have thought about consulting my GP but not really sure if they will know and I have now been discharged from the menopause clinic so cannot ask them. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Ldry and welcome to the forum. I know periods can be all over the place during perimenopause but I am sure somebody knowledgeable will be along to advice you soon.

Were you prescribed this regime by the menopause clinic?  If so you should be able to contact them to ask for advice.

GPs often don't know much  .  Some regimes do mess up cycles ......... mayB put the product names into the search box - individually - to see what pops up; make notes. Let us know how you get on.
