Vagifem and bleeding

[AwkwardSquad]

Hello, looking for advice please! I’ve just started Vagifem, I’m on day 7, and today I’ve noticed some light bleeding. I am still getting periods, although irregularly, but I don’t think it can be that as my last one was just over a week ago.

The information leaflet does mention bleeding as a common side effect but I don’t know if that means I should stop using it, or carry on and keep an eye on it, or what! Has anyone had a similar experience, and what did you do?

Hopeful little bump. It seems to have just been a little spotting so I’m carrying on, but would be good to hear about any similar experiences!

Carry on. It may be stimulating the womb lining a bit and some is coming away, as you are peri, or it may be some local irritation- women with severe VA can have a bloody discharge because the vaginal tissues are very fragile and bleed on contact with anything, or even just bleed.

Thanks for your reassuring reply, Jingling . It seems to have settled down again so I’ll carry on and keep an eye on it.
