Yep, very familiar. I can only get to 7 days and the last 2 days are particularly hard.

How long are you planning to take it? Are you planning to take it continuously?x

Hi there, I’ve never managed to take it continuously it makes me ill. I once managed 12 days and it took me a fortnight to recover from the withdrawal effects. Now I take it 7 days vaginally and have regular scans (all fine). It’s the only way I can cope. I’m envious of those who take it continuously without side effects, they’re the lucky ones x

Hi Peri

Same could happen for me. How much oestrogen are you taking?? also do you have a heavy bleed with using 7 days every month? if I cant do the conti I think I will do 7 days every 6 weeks (couldn't stand every month}

Thanks Wx

I’m on evorel 50 patches which is an average dose. I don’t do well on high doses of oestrogen, 50 is perfect. I have a 3 day withdrawal bleed, it’s not heavy but then I’m well post meno now. Make sure you check in with your GP/meno specialist so they are aware of your regime and you get full support x

Hi

Still bleeding like a period along with period pains. Not sure if I should carry on hoping it will settle. Seems a bit early to bleed after only 4 Utrogestian vaginal  :-\ :-\
