Title: Help- I Lowered HRT dose and got my period after over a year...
Post by: LuLu71 on February 20, 2020, 02:37:55 PM

HI there,

I have been doing fine the past few months by increasing my estrogel from 2 to 3 pumps. Because I started losing more and more clumps of hair, I decided to go back to two pumps for the past week. To my shock and horror, I got my period today since not having one since September 2018.

I am wondering-

 1) if a pap smear is all that is needed to tell if someone has developed a problem? I just had a pap done last week as part of a routine physical actually and am waiting on the results.

2) if lowering estrogel is a plausible reason for suddenly getting my period.

Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely, a shocked and very troubled LuLu71

Thank you Dotty for responding so quickly. I hope it's just that. It's so strange because I thought I had a stomach ache but it was damn menstrual cramps again!
