Title: Perimenopause on HRT but no period?
Post by: Chopsiegirl on September 22, 2021, 08:23:57 PM

Hi!
New to the forum and this is my first post.
I have been put on Evorel 50 & Conti for peri symptoms. Up until I started, I was getting regular periods.
However, I have started my second box of patches and am yet to have a period - almost a week late compared to usual.
Is this normal? I have had faint cramp pains at times, but no sign of Aunt Flo?

Thanks in advance!  :) :) :)

It’ can be normal in peri. Periods can come and go, be light, heavy, spotting all sorts and all over the place, you may have had your last one and not have anymore.

Hi Chopsiegirl  HRT bleeds usually happen when you stop the conti patches and return to just the Evorel 50 ones. It is the withdrawal of the progesterone which triggers a bleed. Mine were around day three of the new box. Hope this helps.
