Went back on HRT back in August after 2.5 year break. Not had periods at all during the break). Was on Evorel Conti, but was getting a lot of bleeding (average 17 day cycle with constant pink discharge in between.
On 13th Dec I switched to Evorel 50 with Utrogestan 100 orally at night for 25 of 28 day cycle. The bleeding stopped within 3 days, and I’ve been totally clear but started with a bleed on day 22 of taking Utro. I’m now on my 3 day break, not due to start Utro again until Tuesday. The bleed has just about stopped now, and was 6 days.
I know it’s normal to get bleeds initially, but is it the estrogen or progesterone that triggers the bleed? I expected a bleed at some point, but thought it might be on the break from Utro.
If anyone has advice or experience of this please let me know. I have one more box of patches (was only prescribed 2 boxes initially when I changed from Conti to the current regime) so will be making an appointment in the next few weeks for another review.
