Just finished my first pack of HRT (Elleste duet 2mg). Previously stopped taking it because of painful bleeds, so tried the coil but that didnt work for me. Went five months without HRT but then hit the brick wall and could not cope anymore. Had no bleeds at all whilst off it. I felt awful throughput the progesterone phase, then woke up two nights ago as I could feel the blood coming out of me!!
Managed to go to work despite the chronic pain throughout my pelvis and bottom. I could not sit down as everything hurt so much. Went to bed at 7 oclock last night, had to get up every few hours to change my pad. Woke up this morning and now have to change the bed.
I tried to insert a tampon but could not get it in!!!
I feel so unwell, I am drained. I thought i had left all this behind, and am so disappointed to be suffering like this again.
I know I have fibroids, but they have not been checked for years.
Will it get better each month I wonder? What are my alternatives? I cannot see a way forward at the moment xx
