Bleeding every 2weeks on patches
« on: April 16, 2021, 07:27:03 PM »

I'm on Evorel conti and seem to be bleeding every 2 weeks since I started it in Feb. It's for osteoporosis protection. Should I be discussing with the GP reducing the dose ?

Mid February. I know it's usual to have breakthrough bleeding for the first 6months, but every 2weeks?

Hi it can take 6 months for your body to settle on HRT, so you may just have to give it time. X

Hi Stockport1965
I started on Evorel Conti last August. From October to December I had light bleeding for 3 days every two weeks. I had been on the gel and progest tablets for a year prior to being on the patches but had had no bleeding on that regime. Dr referred me for a scan and everything was fine. Bleeding has all stopped now. I had some 24 hr spotting in early jan but nothing since. So within the 6 months it sorted itself out. So what you have doesnt sound unusual to me. Just monitor. If it becomes heavy or bothersome or doesnt stop see Dr?
