Hello, I would welcome some advice.

I was taking Evorel Sequi patches for approx 5 years, I am 56. I had a bleed every 28 days.

After HRT review with GP she changed me to Evorel Conti and said I may continue to bleed for upto 6 months. This was 8 weeks ago.

I wasn't prepared for what has happened since.

I am bleeding about once every 4 weeks it feels like a full on period, bright red blood, clots, stomach ache.  I then spot a bit in between the heavier bleed (approx mid point).

GP did say this may happen, but is it usual for it to be this heavy. I had no issues and no spotting on sequential just a regular 28 day light/medium  bleed for 4-5 days.

To add to this I feel not too great.

I have not slept very well for weeks
My hips and legs ache so much as do my elbows and wrists at times.

I seem to have turned in to an unrecognisable woman, terrible brain fog, mood swings which are frightening. I can go from calm and happy to fiercely angry, then highly anxious, tearful then hyper within 3-4 hours.

I have not been able to go to work for a while  because my mental health is so fragile at present with low mood and anxiety.

Please can someone offer some peer support with this awful situation.

I am trying to help myself, yoga twice weekly, gym 3 times weekly, but I just feel so low and exhausted.

I am 1 point above the lowest range for iron, I wonder whether this has dipped lower?

Thank you

Conti made me bleed heavy so I changed to Evorel 50 and Utrogestan 100 to be taken every day

I am still bleeding on and off but v v light
