Just wondered if any of you have experience of when the bleed happens  on femoston 1/10 and if it is heavier or lighter than before?

Does anyone use tranaxamic acid along with Femoston during the bleed? Is it safe to combine these two..my pharmacist didn't know for sure xxxx

Hi riverrunsfree

I'm 51 and have been on femoston 1/10 for 3 months.  For me, at first the withdrawal bleed started on the second packet on day 3 of the white oestrogen tablets, but  last month started a little earlier on the last day of the grey tablets - not sure why.  I am finding the periods fairly heavy, a lot heavier than a withdrawal bleed on the contraceptive pill, but over and done with in 4-5 days and some people don't even experience periods at all.

Hi riverrunsfree and welcome to MM
If you have problematic bleeds i.e. very heavy, then having a Mirena fitted may be a better way to go and then you can simply add oestrogen as pills, patch or gel to control flushes etc.  You may find that Femoston will regulate things over the next 3-6 months and the bleeds will become less severe but if you have endometriosis, fibroids or polyps then tablet or patch HRT can make bleeding worse. 
I would try your first month or two on the Femoston and see how it goes.   DG x
