Hi all
I started on Evorel Sequi 6 weeks ago, prior to that, taking no HRT, I hadn’t had a period for 11 months.
Just a few days after starting it (the oestrogen only patches), I had a light bleed that lasted a few days, then a couple of days before switching to the oestrogen/progesterone set of patches, I started bleeding really heavily and have done since. The double-sanitary-protection, ruining underwear and clothing kind of heavy bleeding, completely exhausting!
The GP that prescribed them to me said to give it three months to settle, but if I’m honest, I’m ready to throw in the towel already. After almost a year of no bleeds, this is really hard to deal with.
It seems to have helped with my other symptoms, such as hot flushes, aches and pains and general emotional up and downs, but the inconvenience and sheer exhaustion caused by the bleeding is outweighing the positive.
Can anyone offer any words of advice? Would I be silly to stop? Is it just not for me? Or are those particular patches not right for me perhaps?
