Hi, I’m 56 years old and have just started last week on Evorel Conti.
Everything I have read says that you should only be on these if you have had infrequent periods for the past year?
I’m pretty sure that my periods are still normal but it’s hard to tell as I have had no bleeding due to having a Mirena coil for heavy periods for many years.
Early in the year I started spotting and decided to have the Merina removed as it was 7 years old and then I had horrendously heavy periods so I was sent for tests and then had a Hysteroscopy for Polp/Fibroid removal.
All went well and I had 2 “normal” monthly periods afterwards.
As I felt my perimenopause symptoms had got worse and due to the regular periods I still seemed to be having I approached my GP for HRT.
She has prescribed Evorel Conti and I can see on my notes it says “as over 55 can try no bleed continuous”.
I’m wondering if this is correct? I can’t find anywhere online that says it’s ok to use these patches with regular periods if you are over 55?
I’m not sure if I should contact the surgery and question this?
