Terrible Cramping on HRT Patches
« on: May 10, 2021, 09:29:43 AM »

Please could anyone advise?

I am Post Menopause now but started to have Evoral 25 patches and Utrogestan 100 about 3/4 months ago to hep with night sweats.  All has been OK until last week when I had a very heavy discharge (It ran down my leg) and then a bleed a few days later. Now I have no bleeding but have had terrible cramping for 4 days. Is this normal? (Before I call my GP)

I think it would be advisable especially as you have had a discharge too. Let us know how you get on.

How long since your last period, pink?
If a year or more, you definitely need to call the GP. Any post menopausal bleeds should be investigated. Chances are, the patch has stirred the womb, hence the bleed, but a hysteroscopy can rule out fibroids, cysts etc .

I’m in the sane boat. Started the patch in September, all okay for a few months, then bang, 4 bleeds in 6 months!

Good luck.
