It feels such a minefield as in another forum I’ve just seen someone who I recognise as having a lot of experience and under a good consultant insist continuous is only for post menopause.
But my own Gp said ‘usually after a year we try continuous.’ At that point, last June, periods were v light and I was on 75; we raised it to 100 at that appt due to symptoms and blood tests.
It was fine at first (vaginally) but then I spotted for several weeks and made the decision to go back to cyclical. In retrospect I feel that was too hasty as it’s likely that this will happen?
This last cycle I felt so unwell *off* the utro and had such a heavy period (I think as the date pattern has me starting it during my last bleed so I’ve had a good two weeks with no utro) that I’ve just gone back to daily. And this time orally which definitely helps me feel much better in myself this time (couldn’t cope in past.)
I’ve noticed that within 3 days my feet don’t ache first thing in the morning.
I suppose I’ll have to trial this for a good 3 months. I’ve an appointment in a month; first I could get.
