Title: Period pain in conti regime
Post by: Sfifties on November 24, 2021, 09:27:58 AM
Hi everyone ,
Wonder if anybody has had the same experience or can explain me why would this happen.
I am on conti regime of oestrogel 2 pumps and utrogestan 100mg every other night vaginally.
I had read that bleeding in first3-6 months of hrt is common but is it normal for the bleeding ( quite light on occasion looks like a brownish discharge u would get at the end of  a period) to be exactly like I remember when i had period with cramps ?
Strangely when i still had periods mine were quite shorts in between so often i had a period every 21-24 days and coincidentally the bleeding started exactly after 3 weeks of starting hrt and feels like a bad period.
Could anyone explain me the all process that causes bleeding in conti regime , is the every other night utrogestan 100 mg vaginally rather than every night be the cause ?
Thank you
