Hi there
Could anyone help me please? I've started femoston 2/10 ( the sequi one not the coninuous) I'm day 8 and I've started a huge clotting bleed. It's a proper clear out. I'm due to move onto the progesterone part in a few days. If I'm having a period should I take them? Is there any point/harm?
I presume I ovulated and the extra estrogen has caused the bleed to be heavy.
What should I do? Thanks

Not an expert on this - I've been taking the 1/10 for 9 weeks - but you bleed in the oestrogen bit, not the progesterone bit. So you'll get a bleed again probably in the first week of the oestrogen-only. As far as I can see that's fine, just carry on taking it. It's designed for peri, isn't it, when your own hormones can decide they're feeling left out and it's time to party.

I agree - just carry on taking it as per the packet - hopefully your own cycle will get weaker eventually and any breakthrough bleeding will become less frequent.

If bleeding problems continue, do ask your doc for advice.

Thank you! I'm guessing the post progesterone pill bleed might be very scant after this clear out
