[Sarai]

I've been on Evorel Conti over 18 months and from day one I got spotting of old blood monthly, I did have hysteroscopy a year ago but it wasn't enough sample but we left it there as I was only 0.2mm over threshold and consultant felt sure it was the HRT.

I then cut my patch in half and for 4 months no spots so I thought go back up to full and it started again, so back to 3/4 and its in a monthly cycle now sore boobs, constipation and old blood spots exactly monthly.

My GP said he thought it was because I had so often messed with the dose. But this month I got much sorer boobs, constipation and the discharge with old blood etc Now I'm wondering if extreme stress cause cause this or the fact I started coenzyme q10 or maybe the patch was getting not cut just right. Oh and I've been doing more gentle exercise wise too.

I'm doing my own head in with it but I have a pregnant daughter at home who's nearly at term, we are losing sleep as shes having big problems and this is making me struggle to cope right now, the worry of it.
Consequently I'm going back to half a patch again.

Are you still peri-menopausal Sarai? If so perhaps this could explain your monthly spotting? Have you thought of trying a different HRT?

No I'm post, I went 13 months without a period before going on it. I suspect I still have some hormones left over or the prog us not being absorbed.
