Hi DS68,
I'm having a similar issue - I have been on cyclical HRT for 4 months now, but often get my periods half way through the oestrogel and then don't know whether I should then take the 12-day utrogestan or not. I think these are my real periods coming through - definitely not spotting. In my case I am wondering if I am taking too low a dose of oestrogel (1 pump and a bit). Have you received some advice /reassurance since posting your question?
