Hi all,,, I am new here .... Ive joined specifically to see if I can get a little reassurance as I am starting to get myself worried !
I am 57 and ultrasound has shown me to be post menopausal.
I have had problems with heavy periods for most of my life
Previously I was on the POP to keep them under control.
Then I hit perimenopause and menopause and kept flooding.... but I got through it.
However, the anxiety amongst other menopause symptoms were a bit too much at the time and I went onto cyclical HRT... which was ok.
Roll on a few years and GP swapped me to continuous HRT . I had some bleeding which was investigated by hysteroscopy - reassured that everything was normal and persuaded to have a mirena coil fitted to stop the bleeding.
Told not to worry if I bleed for 6 months
7 + months later I was still bleeding constantly - albeit lighter than when the coil was first fitted so back to GP
Referred for ultrasound to check coil placement etc... all normal... but still bleeding.
Well,, now at 9 months since coil was fitted I have had enough .... if this constant bleeding is due to the HRT then I dont want it anymore and I stopped using the oestrogel almost 3 weeks ago .. and of course I am still bleeding
does this ever stop ?
I really want some reassurance that when you stop the HRT bleeding is normal and that it will stop ?
Ive made a GP appointment for a couple of weeks time,, so that if I am still bleeding then it will have been just over 4 weeks since I stopped any HRT
although I still have the coil in ....
I am just so fed up of it all, and getting scared it could be something really serious !
thankyou in advance for my ramblings !
