Hello 👋🏻
It's been a while since I posted on here, but I'm hoping your experience and wisdom will help me once again.
I'm on Evorel Conti and have been for a year. (I haven't had a period in over 2.5 years). It's been ok - at the beginning I had occasional spotting, but it settled and I felt human again. Until two weeks ago. Walking around Tesco with my OH, I suddenly started bleeding/flooding - to say I was mortified is an understatement. It was everywhere. I went straight to the doctor. I'd had no pain, no spotting, nothing other than painful boobs for a couple of days.
I've had a smear test, which was all clear, and I'm waiting for an ultrasound. I should carry on with the patches. The doctor thinks it's hormonal and will settle. My mum called it ‘the last gasp'.
Fast forward to today and I'm flooding again. And on holiday in Tenerife 🙁
Has anyone experienced similar? Do you have any advice?
I need to go back to the doctor again when I'm home in 11 days. I feel I should know more about this and am a little lost. I am hoping it will settle down again, but will it?
I feel ok - no other issues with pain, sweats, anxiety, depression etc. I'm fit, healthy, losing fat at the moment (working hard at losing those inches). I don't sleep well, haven't since I was about 40! (I'm 48 now.) I haven't missed any patches, they stick really well. I had blood tests a week ago, but they were ok apparently.
Thank you all. It's 4am and I'm wide awake, unable to sleep - trying to be calm.
D.
