Everol 50 100 progesterone bleeding not settling

(1/2) > >>

Ladybird13:
I have been on HRT for over 6 years. I was on sequential then was switched to continuous almost 2 years ago. I was upped to everol 75 then to the 1200 with 2 progesterone at night. I didn't find the progesterone very good, felt swollen and generally not myself but after 5 months the bleeding/spotting settled. I was moved back to everol 50 and 1 progesterone on 7th November last year. I started to bleed at the end of January for 5 days then every 3-4 weeks after this. I was hoping it was settling as it has got lighter (a few days very light spotting then a few days heavier bleed) but it 's just over 2 weeks and it's happened again. I know when it's going to happen as my boobs get sore, I have sweats, headaches and I eat loads. If i go off the start date of November that's over the 6 months but if I go from when I started bleeding I am not up to 5 months yet. It was suggested at my last appointment (in March) that I went up to a 75 patch as I am feeling low at times so I was going to switch after my holiday at the end of June in case the bleeding started again with the change in dose. I have made an appointment but my usual Dr who I have confidence in is not available so not sure what will happen and I really didn't want to bleed while I am away (it's a family holiday that we have planned for a while). I am thinking, rightly or wrongly, that if I am still bleeding a bit on my current doe surely adding more estrogen (even though I will feel better) would not stop the bleeding? Has anyone had a similar experience? Sometimes I think I will just stop it all and see what happens but I am scared as I suffered so much with the anxiety that I had not had before so I don't want to go back there.  Thank you

Just wanted to say I am going round in circles with this also absolutely fed up ! Anxiety was reason for doing hrt in first place and 2 1/2 years in and several variations later I’m still not right! On conti as dropping to one hormone I can’t stick and I’m bleeding monthly periods all scans fine x

I know exactly how you feel. I was never anxious but it came out of nowhere. I was settled on sequential but then my Dr said guidelines say after you have been in that for so long it's better to change to continuous. I was looking forward to feeling ok and not having periods, not the case! I will have to see what hap[pens, didn't want to bled on my holiday but as I never know it may arrive while I am there. It is quite light this time so was hoping but 2 so close together makes me wonder if it ever will. It's so weird as I feel PMT just before which I didn't on sequential. Anyway, good luck to you, hope you can get somewhere as it's not a great feeling. Thank you for your reply :)

I’m coming back as a man in life

Absolutely! It's not a nice thing at all and these things are supposed to help us. I sometimes feel it's just me but when you read things like this forum you realise it's not. Fingers crossed for us
