Hi all
New here but this seems such a great forum.
I’m 57 and hit menopause when diagnosed with Graves Disease 12 years ago. I’ve been on lots of different things over last ten years; sequential and then continuous HRT. Tablets and patches and eventually for the last two years oestrogen pump and ustrogen 200mg every day.
I’ve been stable, no bleeding for last two years but suddenly had some fresh blood spotting on Sunday,
I was freaked out. I had intercourse the day before and no bleeding then. No cramping or pain.
Off to drs I go and see one who admittedly knew nothing as was googling whilst talking to me….initially referred me under 2 ww then phoned me back to say the hospital had said that was incorrect and I should stop HRT and wait 6 weeks…
I was really upset - firstly by the idea of 2 ww as three years ago I went through that process with a painful unexpected biopsy and then ultrasound. All was fine and I went on to current HRT but it took three months not 2 weeks and scared me witless.
I’ve read around and thought that the first line of investigation now was a scan within 6 weeks…
I’ve no major or minor risk factors for endometrial cancer.
But anyway.
I’ll wait. And watch. No bleeding since that one off.
My question is, can the fact I switched from 1 pump to 2 of oestrogel have caused a bleed? I upped it in August time as thought might help with my anxiety and low mood?
Also now cold turkey HRT… what can I expect?
Lots of bleeding?
I’m so fed up.
And worried. Googling womb cancer was something I thought I’d never do again….
