Thank you everyone,

You have given me a lot to think about:)

Am wondering if I should stop the progesterone for 5 days and see if I can shed the lining?

I'm 54 and switched from a sequential to a conti over 14 months ago. I was told, I'd been on the sequential too long, as after  12 months on a you should then switch to a conti.

Was okay for the first few months, then breakthrough spotting/bleeding started. As it went on for longer than 6 months, I was referrred on to get it all checked. Had scans done, to check ovaries, and also checked the thickness of the lining of the womb. All was okay. The breakthrough bleeding settled, but on the odd occasion it does come back only slightly

Sequential was great, but then after a period of time started having troublesome breakthrough bleeding, so thats when it was decided to switch to conti

Ive found conti much better, once the switch was made.

Guess it takes time to try things, to find something that works for you. As people have said conti just doesnt work for some people and they revert back to a sequential

I'm 48 and have been on conti for about 3 years. I switched because I just couldn't cope with the up and down hormones of a cycle.

Mostly it's been great but sometimes I get a bit of spotting and occasionally a bleed. I know they are coming because my boobs start hurting!

I much prefer it even if it is a bit unpredictable.

I'm quite happy to go back to sequi.

I don't want the stress of having to get things checked out if there's breakthrough bleeding.

Thanks for letting me know about the information on switching to a conti. That's very interesting that you don't need to switch
