Hi Everyone
I am 58 and post menopausal. Just started on estradot 50 and utrogestan 100. Today I started bleeding. I know this can sometimes happen but I was wondering what other women's experiences of it were as it is a little heavy and I have cramps. Lovely to be here

Hello Dotty22 and welcome to the forum. I do not have any advice but just wanted to welcome you. I am sure somebody knowledgeable will post soon.

Did you get the bleeding checked out?  Any post meno bleed should be.

Hi Dotty22,
They say it's normal to have bleeding within up to 6 months after starting HRT. I was a bit surprised when I recently started slightly bleeding 10 months into my HRT. My estrogen patch has been increased 5 months ago. I contacted my GP and she did not worry about it and said to contact her if it doesn't stop in 3 months. I am a bit surprised with that response, but maybe it applies to any increase too within first six months.
I think it's always a good idea to speak with your GP, it would be good to do so to put your mind at rest.
