Hi Edwina  - Not sure what you are getting at.
I can understand the no bleed bit but not the lasting for 2 months or more.

Are you post menopausal?
Does the menu on the left (green bit) have any useful info?

Hopefully somebody who knows what they are talking about will be along soon

Hi and welcome edwin a
It really helps us to have a bit more information about you e.g. your age, where you are in the menopause etc.- are you peri or post meno?
If you want more info about the various types of HRT look under the headings to the left of this screen. Here is the link for Post menopause HRT preparations :http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/postmeno.php
I'm afraid there isn't a patch that can stay on for more than a week.

Hi edwina

 :welcomemm:

I'm not quite sure what you mean either but as Dancinggirl says there aren't any. There used to be oestrogen implants for women who had had early surgical menopause due to hysterectomy - not sure if these are still available - but they are not generally available for HRT (not sure if privately). The difficulty with these is they do give a high dose of oestrogen but sometimes too high as to be higher than physiologically normal and can stop being effective.

As the others said - we can advise better of we know where you are in meno and whether you are already on HRT
