Bleeding on continuous HRT

[higgyhog]

I have posted this on menopause but had no response, perhaps opening it up a bit might help.

I have been taking kliovance for several years. If I miss a tablet I can sometimes get a little bleeding but until now not in other circumstances. Just before Christmas I experienced huge emotional upheaval, my mother died and we were burgled. I started to bleed, bright red blood, not very thick, for a week or so. I feel a lot calmer and more together now but today the bleeding is back, with mild "period pain" . Obviously I need a gp appointment but in the hope of soothing my troubled mind does anyone else who has had these symptoms or who is in anyway expert in these matters have any idea what might be causing this. Thank you.

Hi OP

I've been on Everol Conti for a couple of years and have had a few episodes of bleeding in that time. GP didn't seem in the slightest bit concerned, which surprised me as I thought that any bleeding post menopause should be investigated...

Let me know how you get on with your GP.

thank you, Blackink, I will get back to you, just hoping it is not necessary to have anything nasty done to investigate.

Well, I did say I'd be back with an update. My G.P. asked me a few questions, the bleeding was very like breakthrough bleeding when i was on the pill. I was asked to be sure I never missed a tablet and to be sure to take it at the same time every day. I have done this and the bleeding has not returned. I do think that the extreme anguish I was in a few weeks back was partly responsible.
