Title: HRT without periods?
Post by: Candy Floss on February 03, 2016, 03:34:48 AM

Can someone tell me - can you get HRT whereby you don't have periods?  I know there is the monthly and three monthly kinds where you get a period - but is there a type where you get NO periods at all?

yes alot of hrt is continuous ,ie no bleed.
you usually only get this perscribed once you are bleed free for 12 months or over 54 as I understand it .

My GP mooted the idea of no bleed HRT even though I'm only in peri as as possible solution to it affecting my endometriosis.

Thanks for your answers - I wasn't sure if you could get it without a period - knowing this has helped me a lot.
