Hi I am still having a slight discharge now and again, even thought I have had blood tests which comfirm I am menopausal, I am on no hormone treatment, I don't feel dry down below at all so surely I am still ovulating that's why no hormone treatment suits me,

Have you always had this. I could always tell when I was ovulating but as my hormones declined it became less. It was only at one point in the month.
Have you been tested for infection?

sue23 - what kind of discharge? Where are you in your meno stage? If you are still peri you may well be ovulating occasionally. If your discharge is clear and not smelly I wouldn't worry tooooo much.  Just enjoy that fact you aren't feeling dry yet - that joy is yet to arrive!!!!
If you tried HRT you may have been given the wrong ones ( possible too high a dose) and your hormones fluctuate during peri meno anyway.

As dancinggirl says you could still be ovulating occasionally. It often goes to every other month. One ovary packs up before the other in a lot of cases. This is the reason why contraception has to be continued for two years after your last period if you are under 50 and one year after the last period if you are over 50 I think.

We are supposed to have some discharge- it's when it stops that we need help!
I don't think you can judge accurately the stage of meno by discharge. some women get very dry during peri when they are still ovulating.

Another thing to consider is that one blood test ( if that is what you had) is not accurate.

When I saw my consultant the first time he ran blood tests and told me I was post meno. I laughed ( nicely) because I was still having fairly regular periods and continued to have periods for another 18 months.

I wasn't seeing him for meno at the time- that came later- so HRT wasn't an issue otherwise he'd have run more tests.

What do you think you want to to now?
