Title: Evoril Conti patches & bleeding
Post by: MAZZA64 on June 19, 2013, 06:08:19 PM

Hi 
I am new to this site. I have been using the patches since March, but the last couple of months I have started spotting and it has got heavier and the last couple of days I am back to a full blown heavy period complete with cramps.
I am going on holiday on Monday and really want the bleeding to stop! Any help or ideas please.
Thank you

Hi Mazza - had you finished your periods before starting the patches. I also had continous bleeding on a conti HRT but this was because I was still young enough for my own cycle to break through. I have also replied on your other thread about Livial.

Bleeding is very common in the first six months of a conti HRT by the way.

It took me about six months to stop spotting and bleeding on these patches. If they suit you in every other way then it's worth sticking with it.

Thank you Taz & Honeybun
I started the menopause at age 42, I will be 49 in August so 7 years.
A gynaecologist put took me off Livial as I was too young for it and gave me the patches instead.  Which are great apart from the bleeding. But I will stick with it! Lol

   Why are you 'bumping' such an old question (from 2013)? I was about to answer it and then saw how old it was.
