Dear ladies
I am confused and concerned as I keep starting to bleed on day 6 or 7 of utrogestan.
As a brief history I am 49 and peri, started hrt 25 mg evorel patches with 200 mg Utro orally for 12 days each month. Felt ok but did not bleed at all, only very mildest spotting day 9 of Utro. Still had some flushes and some weepy episodes.
After 3 months I increased to 50 mg patches. Bled fine the first month but for the last 2 months I have started to bleed on day 6 or 7 of Utro. Last month I stopped the Utro when the bleeding began on day 7 and just let the period happen. This month am now bleeding again on day 6 of the utro, which means only 3 weeks since the last bleed.
Firstly, I am confused as to why my body is doing the opposite. Can I be someone who doesn't absorb utrogestan? Do I need more of it? Does it just not work in some ppl?
Secondly, am I best to continue for the full 12 days, or should I stop again and let the bleed happen. If I keep doing this I'll be on a 3 week cycle, which is not really fun.
Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.
