Just looking for some advice really.
Have been on Evorel Conti for about 3 years and it works well for me in managing my symptoms - can't remember when I last had a hot flush, sleep is better, but I still have to work on it.
Earlier this year I had some light bleeding which lasted for about 4 weeks. Saw the dr and was referred under the 2 week urgent referral (I'm 51). Have had an ultrasound and was then referred for a hysteroscopy, and endometrial biopsy, which I had 2 weeks ago - just awaiting the results.
After a very short conversation with the consultant I was told that I should start to wean myself off hrt and this was also put into a letter to my doctor, as the consultant felt that this might be the cause of the bleeding. I'm quite reluctant as it's been pretty much life changing and I really can't face the thought of going back to how I was. (Also I've had post menopausal bleeding prior to going on hrt which was investigated and showed no problems.) I do have a fibroid which has shrunk 53mm to 20mm in the last 4 years.
Added to the mix is weight loss (intentional) - 9kg since end of March - could this be contributing as the bleeding started about 3 weeks after an initial quick loss of 3kg.
To top it all off I've just started bleeding again and much heavier before - as yet I haven't made any changes to my hrt regime.
As I'm not keen on stopping hrt - what are my options once I have the results of the biopsy?
Try another form of HRT?
Can I be forced to stop taking it?
Not sure where I go from here (once I have biopsy results).
Would be grateful for Any advice, similar experiences
