Hi Sharon. Sorry to hear about your bleeding. When was your last natural period and how soon after beginning Evorel did the bleeding start?

I'm afraid your doc maybe didn't read the information leaflet in the pack. From what I remember it advises to start on the fifth day of your period. Have you got the leaflet to check? I don't think it's anything to worry about and should eventually even out but I'm sure someone else will be along soon to further advise.
