Hi, I’m 51 and been on HRT for over 2 years now (one tablet progesterone and 2 pumps of estrogen gel) I was also on the mini pill until my Dr told me to stop having been on the HRT for 2 years. I was having some bleeding before stopping the pill that’s why I rang my Dr. A previous Dr had told me I needed to stay on the mini pill until I was 54!!
So since stopping the pill I bled a few days after and have continued to have a bleed fairly regular - last month 2weeks Late previous month 1 week early. My Dr told me I shouldn’t have a bleed with the combination of HRT I’m on. So said to give it a few weeks see how things go after stopping the pill. Well last week after intercourse I bled and the same happened at the wend. Needless to say my anxiety levels are through the roof!! This happened to me about 10 years ago and was put down to me being on the pill then it eventually stopped.
Anyone else had anything similar? I have a telecon with my GP tomorrow afternoon but still stressing out!
Thanks J x
Hugs
Sorry I just saw this message.
How did your phone call go with your doctor?
It's good you rang your doctor.
I've had problems with abnormal bleeding on hrt and have had a hysteroscopy which showed nothing sinister.
The hrt has been tweaked a few times but the bleeding returns so I keep getting scans.
The last scan found fibroids, but my GP doesn't think they are not a problem and definitely not cancer.
I am awaiting a gynaecological appointment just to make sure all is still well, I will probably hopefully find out how big the fibroids are, I imagine small as they would have been discovered at the last scan in October.
