Hi there. I’ve been on Evorel 25 patches for 3 months quite successfully with ustrogen tablets. I should have started the tablets this weekend but instead I have had a full bleed two weeks after the last withdrawal bleed without taking any of the progesterone! Does this sound ‘normal’ to anyone?? Should I be worried? And would anyone know if I also need to take the ustrogen now as well? 🤷♀️ I will email my GP but wondered if anyone had any experience of this! TIA xx

Keep taking the progesterone as normal. It takes a while for your body to synchronise.

Perfectly normal if you still have a cycle of your own. Hrt doesn't override your own cycle in the way bcp does, I found my own cycle was always stronger than the hrt one. I found it better to synch the hrt cycle to my own so started again with day 1 as the first day of my bleed. Trying to change my cycle to fit into the hrt one didn't work for me.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for your advice! Rather than being 51, am feeling like a kid again!! 😊
