Hello ladies. This is my first post but I've lurked on here for ages and found it so useful.
I've seen my GP today and have been given Elleste Duet 2mg as I've taken Tridestra for the last 6 months and just cannot bear the horrendous heavy periods any longer.
On Tridestra I got my period after the first 3 month period and the PMT and flooding hit me like a train !
Nevertheless I persevered with the next 3 month cycle but bizarrely got a full blown period on day 44 and then another awful one at the end of the blue tablets (day 77) which is still going on. I've lost so much blood I feel weak !
So I asked for the Mirena instead and an oestrogen gel, but there's a 2 month waiting list for Mirenas in my area
The Dr suggested Elleste Duet whilst I wait for a Mirena. I know I'll get monthly bleeds on this type of HRT but can anyone reassure me that the bleeds won't be as heavy, painful and dragged out as they are on Tridestra ?
I'm getting married in 8 weeks time and so worried I'll get my period on my wedding day
Thanks for any comments or advice
Ps I'm 52 and last year had one “natural†period in Feb before starting HRT in October. My GP (different one to today) suggested I was towards the end of peri-menopause
