Title: Late periods and cramps
Post by: Kirstychase1974 on April 28, 2023, 06:59:29 AM

Hi there I need some advice please. I’ve been on everol sequi for 4 months and the first 2 cycles were fine had a bleed each month towards the end of the box. However last month it didn’t happen and I’m on patch 3 of a new box and I’m now bleeding heavily (always been like that) and got severe cramps. Can anyone explain why my bleeds are now not syncing with the patches and if I’ll probably get another bleed when I end my current box? Many thanks

Hi there

I don't know the answer I'm afraid however I am aware that if you are still having your own cycle, the hrt cycle won't override it.

You can try and sync them so you only get one bleed a month, that's what I do but sometimes I'll get a bleed before I've finished the 2 weeks progesterone and this month I started bleeding before I even started progesterone. It's very annoying tbh and I'm not sure there's much to be done about it as cycles are all over the place in peri xx
