My periods started to become very erratic 4 years ago at the age of 41. I would sometimes not have a period for 8 weeks then I would have one 2 weeks later sometimes lasting 3 days other times 9 days. I went to the docs and they tested my FSH levels twice and both times they came up high for peri menopause. At the time I couldn't believe I could possibly be menopausal, due to my age but I was suffering with palpitations and night sweats but just put this down to being stressed with a busy work and home life. Anyway the GP suggested Elleste duet and no more night sweats or palpitations. I have never suffered with the anxiety or moodiness that some people suffer. I was always in 2 minds as whether to go on HRT as my symptoms were very minor and minimal but GP said as I am young my bones and heart are not protected so it is important to be on HRT for thisi reason. My question is though I have regular bleeds on elleste - roughly about every 27 days. One day when I am at full menopause do these bleeds just stop??
