Hi Daisie
I think you mentioned earlier that you'd been on a Conti HRT ever so briefly only in the last year.
The Conti has progesterone included so you should have never been exposed to unopposed estrogen.
You'd have had to take estrogen on its own for quite sometime to get this problem.
"it did say in the book that if you dont have progestorone to balance the estrogen the lining of the womb builds up and it can cause cancer"
This is what I tried to explain on another post on the forum.
This unopposed estrogen can happen to those of us not taking HRT through our journey. This unfortunately is something thats not well understood or explained by the doctors. The docs concentrate on the BC scare stories and don't explain that the regular HRT progesterone helps keep our uterus healthier by either regular bleeds on sequi or by stopping bleeds altogther with conti.
Just want to explain that just incase other ladies confuse the problems.
Once you've had your operation then you should be able to use Estrogen only HRT and gain from the benefits and extra safety seen with that option.
Will keep an eye out for your updates and wish you all the very best in the next few weeks.
