Hi,
I'm 53 post menopause since 2017.
I tried Evorel patches over a year ago but stopped due to bad Migraines.
I struggled on hot flushes,tiredness - wanting to kill husband etc Then 4 months ago started continuous HRT with Estradiol gel and Utrogestan tablets.
The first 10 weeks were great ,no side effects thought I'd cracked it then at the 3 month mark started bleeding.
Had a urgent Gynae appointment with a scan and colposcopy
These were normal ( apart from some scar tissue being mis diagnosed as a polyp !) And the consultant advised it was the progesterone element of HRT causing bleeding and recommended having a mirena coil fitted instead .
GP cannot do this yet due to covid.
I could put up with the bleeding if it stops eventually but today I've been bent over with cramps and feel awful.
Don't know what to do. I've been advised that if I want to stop HRT then I don't have to wean off just stop taking as its only been a few months.
My menopause symptoms before this were awful and I made my husband's life hell but don't know how long to wait this out. . . 😢😢
