Title: Elleste solo & ustrogen, day 31 no bleed? When?
Post by: Seven8Nine on August 02, 2018, 05:29:21 AM
Hello

I waited over 3 months for my natural AF to arrive to start HRT but it didn't so I just started HRT, I am on elleste solo 2mg and 1mg ustrogen.

I inserted the ustrogen vaginally day 14-28 (15 days) currently I am day 31 and no bleed. When should this happen? 

My sister scared me that every friend she had that has been on HRT has had cancer so I am conscious about the importance of the withdrawal bleed. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Any help is much appreciated to help my anxiety with this!

Thanks so much.

Your sister should keep Big Gob Shut?

Maybe put the drug name into the search box here and see what suggestions others have made?

Lol thanks I guess she should, she's 49 and gone through the menopause having not had a period in 18 months, so easy for some!!

I'll try the search again. Thanks for reaching out.

I expected the withdrawal bleed to arrive a day or 2 after I stopped progesterone! I'm pretty sure worrying isn't helping it come!

Mine always arrived about four days after stopping progesterone.

It can take up to 5 or 6 days for the bleed to start.

Just an update for anyone looking for similar guidance that my withdrawal bleed arrived on day 32, took 4 days, and it came on with a vengeance!! 😬
