Hi Sid
I've been on HRT for 7 years, I'm 56 and its always been sequi apart from a 3 month trial of conti which gave me erratic bleeding and spotting.
I changed from tablets to utrogestan and Lenzetto in December and the GP prescribed it on a conti basis. I had said I wanted to stick with sequi so I had a benchmark against which to note changes, so I decided I would just take it on a sequi basis anyway.
I saw a different GP recently (the other one retired), and her stance is that I should be on conti by now.
I want to stay on sequi for now and stuck to that position with her. She seemed perplexed but ok enough.
I had 20+ days of bleeding in November before I changed regime, and today I'm off for an ultrasound, both abdo and transvaginal. I'm happy with that as the bleeding was well out of the norm for me.
If you're having a regular bleed it's not that likely that you need the scan, though I guess you never know.
I'd suggest just taking it in the way you choose - your GP can't enforce it, and you use about the same number of utro capsules so shouldn't make a difference to the prescription frequency.
As others say, it's your choice, not your GP's.
Good luck!
