Hello, newbie post here...looking for help
I'm 57 post menopausal currently on femseven continuous after evorel conti caused bleeding. Also recently started on estriol cream for VA and irritation etc. Have bleeding every 4-6 weeks, with ache joints, back ache, cramps etc. Previous investigation showed no worries IUS suggested but not keen having never used this before. Very Well controlled high blood pressure...where do I go...don't have room for menopausal symptoms again as in carer role..all and any help much appreciated.

Do use the VA treatment as often as is necessary.  You don't need a break.  Some ladies manage with a few times a week, many require a nightly dose.  It really does depend on each of us.

What support do you get as a carer? 

As oestrogen levels drop muscles may become lax = aches and pains.  Over the counter pain relief should help. 

Muscle cramp can be due to a lack of salt in the diet ;-)

Let us know how you get on.

What about taking utrogestan for 25 out of 28 days (which was the 'old' continuous schedule) which would let you have a predictable bleed but also be mostly on continuous.
