Hi CLKD & Sheila,
Thankyou both for your replies. I’m back now from the GP and after reading what the gynaecologist has suggested and me telling him I’m feeling bad on the 200mg he to agreed that I shouldn’t be taking it and doesn’t understand why she suggested it, as my lining is already thin. So as of tonight, I’m back on the 100. But he doesn’t know what to suggest going forward and Sheila, yes, you’re probably right, it’s the fibroids causing the bleeding - though nobody has actually said that, but I do wonder as well. CLKD yes, I know you’re right about GPs and Gynaecologists and HRT as he admitted he didn’t have a clue. What he suggested was I see someone privately. He was going to refer me to the NHS menopause clinic, but there is a year waiting list.
He said that once they prescribe something else and it works, to let him know.
They won’t remove my fibroids unfortunately. I’ve got a few, but it was never suggested. I think the biggest is about 6mm, so not that big. When I have a bleed,it’s gone on for two weeks each time and is actually quite ‘clotty’ so I do wonder if I’m actually shedding lining. It’s a difficult one.
I’ve got a blood test form to check my estradiol levels and a few other things, I just wanted to know for myself really as I don’t think my estregen levels are that good and never have been. I’ve just got ‘used’ to feeling like I do, I think. I just wanted to gauge the sort of levels others had, who were of similar dose etc out of curiosity really.
Thankyou
