Hi I’m newbie,
Anyone had anything similar??

Absolutely fed up,I’m premenopausal have been for years,I’m 49 have always had regular heavy,flooding periods for years -finally in April 2021 doc gave me everol sequi/conti patches-AMAZING-periods lighter(still 7days days BUT not flooding),hot sweats GONE,mood lifted- YEAH!MARVELLOUS HRT WORKS-9MTHS LATER😞 heavy bleeding twice a month,headaches,mood swings return!! SO CALL DOCS.

Doc prescribed ustrogen for 14days and estradot all month-I’ve done this now for 5 months,still heavy bleeds on what would be my normal cycle-before even taking my ustrogen,then have a light bleed mid way through ustrogen.
I’ve gained what feels like a tyre around my middle & feel bloated constantly 😞 mood is low,hot sweats making a return,hormonal cysts have come back to haunt me & generally feeling.😔
SORRY!for rambling- DO I CARRY ON.??
(Rang docs after 3months as felt worse,her reply was give it 6 months & if no good u will have to have coil-I don’t want this!)

Just fed up & don’t know if coming off it altogether will help!?
Any advice much appreciated.🤩

Hello Tad21. Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to read all you are going through. It really is horrible and it seems very hard to find a HRT that does not cause side effects. I do not have any advise but just wanted to welcome you. I am sure somebody will reply soon who is knowledgeable in this.

Hi! Ask for a referral to a dedicated menopause clinic?

Heavy bleeding can be eased by appropriate medication.  Why did your GP alter the regime ........

Tad21:
Thanks Flossieteacake,I know just fed up and ready to quit hrt.

Tad21:
Hi CLKD,
I doubt that we even have one! She said I wasn’t getting enough progesterone and usterogen for 14 days should help and cause heavy bleeding to stop!Not working so far.Think my gp just doles out patches & isn’t very sympathetic.
Plan on ringing tomorrow & will ask about referral & maybe speak to a different gp too.
Thanks for replying😊
