Hi All
My VA treatment has been pretty successful for about 3-4 years and I have been much less stressed about apparent UTI like symptoms. I am now a few days short of 60 and, since Christmas, I have noticed 2 things.
1. I need more Vagifem per week, perhaps 4 or 5 rather than 2 or 3 (together with the Evorel Conti) 2. If I make the mistake of removing 1 Evorel patch and forgetting to add the 2nd for up to 24 hours, I do get light bleeding for several days and significant cramping sensations, more than I would expect with very light bleeding. This has happened 3 times so now I have made a mental note to take special care with adding the new patch.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I wonder whether I do need more oestrogen? Evorel Conti only comes as a 50 and I have wondered whether to add an extra half patch.
My GP practice is very poor on HRT and has gone downhill generally since Covid. Very difficult to see anyone there at all. I previously saw a menopause consultant at the Whittington but I am not sure whether I am still on their books or not. I would have to ask. I am not sure whether it would be worth paying for a private appointment.
