Hello, Gnatty. I'm 56, still peri. I tried various HRT over 4 years. The only one that overrode my cycle was Elleste Duet, but the headaches were debilitating. I felt better on others but would get the withdrawal bleed plus cycle. When I had an extended bleed in July-August I decided to try coming off HRT. The bleeding them went crazy, hence the scan and suspected polyp found. The GP didn't want to resume HRT until after I'd been seen by gynae but it's been a 14 week wait. As it is the appointment just seems to be for hysteroscopy, no consultation etc.
I've had 3 cyclical bleeds since stopping the two weeks of norethisterone to deal.with the prolonged heavy bleeding in September-October. I also seem to have a very light bleed on a cyclical basis 2 weeks before that- although this could be the polyp..My flushes are manageable, my bleeding is heavy at times but not as bad as it was by any means, but my breasts the past week during my period have been incredibly sore. I have no idea what any of this means but I still seem to be very much peri and I'm a bit dismayed to have just had the HRT rug pulled from under me while I wait. I work full time in a senior role and it's a stressful job.
Thanks for listening.
