Evening ladies
I’ve not posted for a while( I’m not good at technology!) but could do with some advice.
I was ticking along nicely on my hrt when in October I developed really bad nausea and realised it was the utrogestan. I am on also evorel 50
My Gp said to go down the vaginal route with utrogestan but after a month I was still nauseous.
So my Gp said stop that and prescribed provera. But 6 weeks later I was still bleeding so she upped my provera to 3x 10 mg and referred me for a vaginal scan.
This showed my womb lining to be 9mm , so Gp referred me to the 2 week pathway.
The consultant thought the bleeding was hrt related and suggested coming off to see if it would stop and reintroduce it at a later time. I said I didn’t want to do that as I suffer with poor sleep, brain fog and vaginal atrophy. She suggested a mirena , but my Gp had already tried that unsuccessfully as my bits are shutting up shop! She tried to do a biopsy, but that failed too for the same reason.
So I was to have it done by hysteroscopy, which happened two weeks later.
This was successful and found I had a polyp which was probably the cause of the thickness. I’m to have this removed at some point when I get a date.
However my Gp has already removed my Everol 50 from my repeat prescriptions . I have a telephone conversation on Wednesday with my Gp and I want her to still prescribe it till I have the procedure and then I can talk to the consultant again about the way forward with my hrt,
I have tried to cut down my provera to twice daily as she said 3 was quite high , but after only 2 weeks I’ve started spotting again!
Like a lot of ladies I’m at the end of my tether!
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Hope I’m posting in the right section. Thank you

Are you using localised vaginal oestrogen as well as the hrt patch? That might be better to try to sort your atrophy. You could then decrease the patch dose until your surgery to see if it helps reduce spotting.
