Hello
I have been taking HRT now for a couple of months. I am on estrogel x 2 pumps and uterogeston 200mg on days 15 - 26.
It’s been going well, however I accidentally carried on with the utrogeston for an extra two days before realising I was on day 28. So I’ve had two extra days of it! Shouldn’t be an issue right?
Last month I started a period on day 22 of the utrogeston, which lasted 7 days. Not a problem, but this month I have not had a period yet at all. Is this normal? Am I supposed to bleed after taking the utrogeston or during? My understanding is that the utrogeston will ensure I bleed, but I’m confused as to when this should occur.
Is it normal to feel pmt symptoms before this ‘period’ like I used to on my normal cycle?
Finally, why is it thought that the progesterone component is the part that can raise bc risk, when I have always thought that bc is linked to oestrogen?
Sorry for all the questions - I hope they make sense!
