Hi everyone. I’m post menopausal and intact (no hysterectomy) and I was put on continual HRT (Estrogel and Utrogestan) in late November I believe 🤔).
Anyway, in late January I started to experience what I’m guessing was breakthrough bleeding. This has continued to happen roughly every two weeks ever since.
I spoke with my doctor who spoke to a gynaecologist. They said since the bleeding only started when I went on hrt it’s nothing to worry about unless it goes past six months.
Just recently I spoke to an hrt nurse who said if I am still experiencing the bleeding in June (which she considers six months) then to go back to my GP.
I spoke to my GP who referred me for an ultrasound scan. However, there were no appointments to be had so I’m now on a waiting list 😞
I know breakthrough bleeding can happen for up to six months so for me is that June or July considering how it began the very end of January for the first time? My husband insists it’s July but the nurse says June.
Whenever I get the bleeding I get cramps and lower backache. I’m also worried sick in case it’s something serious and I’m so tired right now I could cry (I’m taking Spatone, an iron supplement daily). It doesn’t help that I’m on an ultrasound waiting list.
