Hi,
My meno dr has changed my estrogen/progesterone regime. I was on 4x pumps estrogen gel and x3 progesterone tablets two weeks on and two weeks off (is that what is called cyclical?). Now I'm still on x4 pumps, but now on x2 progesterone without a break. Anyway, that was about 2 weeks ago. I'm 44 and have been on HRT for just over a year now. I've also just started on testosterone.
Trouble is, I'm getting a bit of bleeding every day (which Dr warned might happen), but also tummy pain very low down in the abdomen (just above the pubic bone). It ranges from a dull ache to more of a pain like a cramp. When it first started I thought I might have a bladder infection as I found it hard to pee first thing in the morning for two days! That's ok now though. Also, sex is rather, e'hem, ouchy!
Has anyone experienced anything similar? The Dr did warn me my body 'might not be ready' for the new regime. FYI recent bloods showed my estrogen at six hundred and something or other - up from thirty something.
Not sure what's going on with me if anyone can advise at all it would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sarah.
