Hi Sheila
I'm so confused by everything now to be honest. Before I started any of this I could definitely tell, I would get distinct "mittelschmertz" mid cycle so I knew it was happening. I never had problematic periods and when I think back, I do recall having the odd week where I had a headache for days but nothing regular. I took Microgynon throughout my 20s and till about 35 (which is levenogestrel). When I first started HRT 2/3 years ago smack bang in the middle of the shortages, there wasn't anything sequential available with that progestogen. I think Femseven is now though.
Now I get the pains but I don't bleed, then I bleed when I am not supposed to, so I have no idea what's going on. I know many women like to get rid of the bleeds but they don't bother me if I know when it's roughly going to happen.. so on sequi I was bleeding a week earlier than the progesterone finished, and on the conti I bled 2 weeks into starting, then a month later. I've had 2 scans and all was ok, the last one in December.
If I'm ovulating though, that would mean I'm still peri rather than post? I tried patch and Utro before, not good for me xx
