Hi everyone
I am 41 and have been on hrt for two years due to an early menopause that runs in the family.
I tried different combined tablets that either didn't agree with me or caused trouble with my liver.
I have been on the everol 50 patch and utrogestan tablet at night for nearly two months and i love it. The only problem is last week i became doubled up in pain and it was eventually found that i had a ruptured ovarian cyst. The doctors seem to think there is no link to the hrt and it was from ovulating. After doing ivf i have became very good at knowing if i ovulate as was told 6 years ago i had virtually no eggs left. I do not think i have ovulated at all this year, so how could it be from that? I was also told my ovary that had the cyst is attached to my abdominal wall and the other to my bowel, as i had my tubes removed to help with the ivf, could that make a difference?
Im just really worried it will happen again as i am training to be a counsellor and can't keep taking time off.
Has anyone else developed cysts after starting hrt?
