Title: Bleeding at the wrong time
Post by: RedFraggle on June 26, 2016, 08:22:54 AM
Hi
I'm 4 to 5 months in on femoston 2/10 and I'm consistently bleeding towards the end of the pink pills not at the end of the white pills.
Is this a problem? No other issues with it and it's working like a dream.

I often started the bleed before the end of any progesterone - don't think it's a problem as long as you get a good bleed that sheds the womb lining. It's erratic spotting and bleeding at odd times throughout the cycle that is more of a concern.  Dg x

Thanks dg. It's a proper bleed (had forgotten what that looked like pre HRT, natural bleeds were somewhat horrible and probably not far off ceasing!). Just happens about a week to ten days after stopping the progesterone pills, so almost through the ones with just oestrogen in. No spotting at any time and I feel well for the first time in a long while.

It is odd to get the bleed so long after stopping the progesterone!!!  Maybe your cycle is still settling after starting the HRT.  As long as your get a normal 3-5 day bleed and it isn't' ongoing or problematic I really wouldn't' worry - you may find you start to get the bleed a couple of days after finishing the progesterone as time goes on.  Dg x

Hi, was just about to post about this myself!  I've been on Femoston 1/5 for about 2 months and both bleeds have been about 7-10 days into the progesterone phase.  I'm assuming it's 'normal' (whatever 'normal' is on this flipping journey!) X

Just as a thought, my natural cycle had got to about 18 to 20 days. Maybe that would have an impact?

Normal time this month, I think I took them wrong somehow as I was a day out on the calendar pack.

It's easy to do that. Glad it's evened out this month though.
