Morning.  What type of bleeding? Light pink stain, heavier and red/brown?  Do U have vaginal atrophy which may cause light bleeding from the vagina?

Did U keep your ovaries?

Call your GP tomorrow as this does need to be assessed. Did you keep your cervix?Have you ever had endometriosis?

Hi ya,

Just an update, spoke to my GP yesterday and she was very honest and said she had never come across this before, so sent me for blood tests today and a vaginal examination with the Guini nurse.... And said is putting ot down to my recent  increase in HRT... Walked in to nurse room today and straight away she said I'm telling you now it's nothing to do with HRT because you don't have a uterus... Then said it was from me having a dry vagina but looked in me and didn't find any cuts or sores and no blood...so is not sure what I've done... I'm not convinced it's the do with dryness as I've had that for 3 years and this ain't happened... She kinda just said she don't know what it is and I've prob aggrrevated a scar or something..m but noore bleeding and cramps stopped so just going to put it down to one of menopauses many mysteries.... I've now got some tablets for my dryness  as didn't get on with cream and being told for 3 years cream is all they can offer lol
