Title: Should I reset the cycle?
Post by: violetbat on January 06, 2020, 06:53:00 AM

Hello
Up until December my cycles had been regular as clock work but I had been having night sweats anxiety, brain fog etc .
 I started on the gel on the 22nd December and was due to start the tablets today.

For the first time ever in December my period didn't appear. I was waiting to start the gel then but after a week of waiting I decided to start anyway.
Of course today my period has suddenly arrived on day 16 of the HRT cycle .

My question is can I count this as day 1 again? Presumably I don't need the progesterone tabs to make me bleed in 2 weeks time anyway.
I  am very confused as to how this is all working anyway. My own hormones seem to be overriding things?
The nightsweats are a little better, but still very much i evidence.
Thanks

Yes, mark the first day of your bleeding as day 1 of your cycle.
