hello lovely wimmin
Been on Femoston conti 1/5 for a year, I'm 58 yrs old. The Femoston has worked great, got loads of energy, all good. But had three 'breakthrough bleeds' in past few months.
was referred to gynae; had three ultrasounds, found 2 small fibroids but otherwise all ok.
Last month had two bleeds (more like spotting), so gynae wanted to see me again; they now have booked me in for a hysteroscopy and biopsy, and are suggesting I need to switch HRT - they suggest Mirena plus patches.
I feel a bit wobbly about a few things:
(a) the hysteroscopy (having smears is very painful)- but think I can ask for local anaesthetic?
(b) not sure if I want a Mirena coil at all - the idea of anything at all going 'up there' these days is horrific to me!! (had to stop using tampons many years before periods became erratic...
(c) thinking maybe its time to just wean off HRT and see how that goes.
Does anyone have any experience relating to a, b or c?!
thank you as ever
