Title: No bleed
Post by: Charleyfarley on October 08, 2023, 05:25:35 PM

Hey Ladies

Wondering if anyone knows if it is normal to not bleed on the Evorel patches?

I started HRT 4 weeks ago. Evorel estrogen patch for 2 weeks and then the Conti for 2 weeks.

GP told me during the 2nd 2 weeks on Conti I would bleed. But nada.

It’s changeover day today so I’ve just put on my first of the new 2 week cycle of the estrogen….

No periods been lovely but it’s also awakened the health anxiety beast that is asking if it means there’s something wrong 🤯🤦‍♀️xxx

I bleed 3-5 days after starting a new box on the estrogen only part.

Around 15% don't bleed at all. Those that have very light bleeds or none are thought to be close to actual menopause.

Oooh thank you Pixie, that’s interesting…

So I got onto day 2 of the estrogen and have started a light bleed….

Waiting to see if it’s gonna be the continuous tsunami some people seem to experience or a little light flutter 🤷‍♀️😂

Xx
