Hi there. I’m new so apologies if I’m doing this wrong. I’ll be 50 in three months. I still have periods, although very irregular. (My last period was in September). I’ve been really struggling with anxiety and panic disorder, so doc has eventually prescribed me HRT. She gave me the Evorel Sequi. All she said was that I could start it that day. So we (hubby and I) read the leaflet and it said if you’re 5 days within bleeding to start with the 50s. What we SHOULD have done is wait for my next period and done just that. But we didn’t, doc said I could start, so we did, and that was a month ago. So we knew that I wasn’t due a period for another couple weeks at least so slapped on the conti patches. Then two weeks later we changed to the 50s. I’m due to change back to a conti patches today. I haven’t had a period yet, but the last few days I’ve had all the other symptoms (sore bits, sore boobs, increased thirst and crying), I thought there was a little bit of pink when I went to the toilet this morning, but a few hours later and it’s clean as a whistle. So, what I’m wondering is:
Do I just continue as I am and put my conti patch on tonight
Or do I assume that I’m having a period and have another two weeks of 50s in the hope that this coincides with my cycle?
It’s so confusing and I can’t get hold of my doc to ask.
Any help and advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
