Hi Missylou
I'm 59 and have been put on continuous HRT due to me having regular bleeds of my own (periods have never stopped, for me) and the withdrawal bleeds of sequential making me severely anaemic.
![Cry :'(](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/cry.gif)
I'm been put on 100mg Utrogestan daily and oestrogel.
I had a scan because the doctors did not beleive I could still be menstruating. And all is well. The sonographer said my womb was that of a still menstruating woman (size and condition) but no abnormalities and lining was perfectly thin.
Well 5 months on, my regular bleeds have continued despite the constant daily input of gel and utro. Every 23 to 26 days sometimes for 6 days at a time, a couple for about 12 daYS.
The doctors had thought that my 'periods' were being caused by ups and downs of 200mf utro and oestrogel sequentially, but no. No change.
They apparently ARE my periods.
I'm worried about anaemia again, so wondering if I might actually consider Mirena after a good few more months if nothing changes.
I've always been STRONGLY against Mirena, particularly as I am very progesterone intolerant of synthetic progesterone, which Mirena is - and also because of the fitting/removal. My consultant did say he could sedate me or similar if I wanted to try. I have health anxiety in general, made worse since peri...
This bleeding is getting me down.
Plus I feel like a freak (been made to feel like a freak by the medics) I can't shake off their going on about something must be wrong
