Not after advice, just need a moan 

i actually went 102 days without a withdrawal bleed. I’m now on Day 4 of a bleed that shows no sign of letting up and the pain, Dear God, the pain!

A bit dramatic but I don’t think in all my years I’ve ever had such a painful time on the 4th day. The first and second days were bad but this is something else.

I don’t know what to do with myself! I can’t get comfortable, I’m desperately waiting for some painkillers to kick in as it’s making me really irritable and I won’t be able to ‘enjoy’ the England game unless it eases a bit. Wonder if gin would help? 

I’ll be fine when it eases - There are very few times in life I’ve wished I was a man, but I can honestly say this is one of them

I suffered excruciating pains every month so have    'feminax' was the one medication that would in anyway ease it, supposedly to be taken 48 hours B4 a bleed was expected.  A hot water bottle or bath really didn't help

Hi oldlass

I know you posted this a couple of weeks ago but was wondering about your situation.

Did the bleeding go on for a long time in the end? Hope you're feeling OK now.

You say withdrawal bleed so I presume you're on cyclical HRT? have you been continuing on cyclical HRT for all the time you mention - 102 days? ie several months without a bleed.

I don't know about your situation - age, where in menopause, but many women don't experience a withdrawal bleed on cyclical HRT and depends on their menopausal stage as well as the doses of both oestrogen and progesterone.

If you are taking the regulation doses and the right amount of progesterone and haven't had a bleed but suddenly are doing, then it could be that you are ovulating this month? Alternatively if you haven't been ovulating, and if insufficient progesterone, your womb lining could have built up and suddenly shed.

Either way if the bleeding is very heavy and you are worried because it is unusual for you, then do consider consulting your doctor to check all is well, though there is unlikely to be a serious cause for concern in your situation.

Hi sorry for not replying sooner - couldn’t log on for love nor money. Wasn’t helped by the fact I had four saved passwords and none of them worked.  No I’ve no idea why either

I am 52 and on hrt - gel and utrogestan. That very painful bleed after I’d not had one for 102 days lasted 3 or 4 days.  Ran like a tap for 2 days then stopped. Went as soon as it came but the pain made me cry!
