Just finishing my second pack of Elleste Duet Conti and I've bled virtually every day of this last month. At first it was extremely heavy and since it has been mostly black, dark reddish/brown and light.  Should I be worried guys? I am 

I'm 52 and Defo menopausal.  Hadn't had a bleed for well over a year before I started on hrt

Hi there, I wouldn't worry I've been told on here that it's very normal to havebleeding on conti regime's. I started on evorel conti patches 3 months ago  after no periods for 14 months & I began bleeding for the first time after 2 weeks & since then it has been off & on but mostly on!! I got so fed up that I went back to my doctor's yesterday & I've changed onto Femseven conti patches last night.....at lunchtime today guess what? Yes I'm bleeding again, it's not much now though but a few weeks ago it was so heavy with clots but this is all perfectly normal I believe on conti types. I've just turned 54 by the way. Hope it settles for us both, I  know how worrying & annoying it is

It can take up to six months to settle down jazz although it could resolve within a month or two. It should warn of this in the information leaflet? If you've lost it you can read it here under Possible Side Effects https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/20967

I went back onto sequi HRT as I got fed up with constant bleeding.

I've been on oestrogel with mirena coil for four weeks, and had mostly light spotting( a few days were heavier) for three of those four weeks.
It's frustrating isn't it? Especially when, like you, I'd gone 14 months with no periods prior to starting the HRT.

I question when or if it's going to stop?

Thank you for your replies everyone. It is reassuring to hear it is normal albeit a nuisance.  I've also developed insomnia since going on hrt.  Beginning to wonder if I should persist with it or not.  Some things have improved but the other side effects are causing problems.  Hope you all see improvements!!! Thanks Jan xxx
