Wen, for what it's worth...

It is well known that HRT causes bleeding in the first 3 months (12 weeks) you start it. And also any time a dosage is changed, there can be bleeding as a response - again within 12 weeks. **Any bleeding which occurs within 12 weeks of starting HRT or adjusting dosages should be disregarded.** This is common knowledge although it seems that some doctors haven't got the memo and are unnecessarily terrifying women and adding to NHS waiting lists unnecessarily.

It is really quite angry-making that this should still be happening.

Furthermore, there is no need to take you off HRT before anything confirms that you need this. That is another sign your doctor knows zip about HRT.

And lastly, your symptoms (Rage) returning, really suggest that you need more estrogen - not less. And probably more progesterone to help counter that, or a Mirena coil fitted.

If they offer you a Mirena coil at your biopsy appointment, you should accept it IMO. They will do it more easily than most GPs and it will immediately deal with the bleeding situation for the next 5 years (Mirenas stop all bleeding) and you will also be able to increase your estrogen dose without worrying about more bleeding. That could be the silver lining for you, in this crap situation of an unnecessary hospital appointment your silly GP has sent you on.

And - do change GP. You need someone who is better with menopause care and HRT.
