Is this normal? (HRT)

[Feelingfree]

I have been on HRT (estrogel and utrogestan) since November 2019. My last period was June 2019 and before then had a light one about every three months.

Doctor prescribed 2 pumps of estrogel and one tablet of utrogestan to be taken every day. A blood test taken at the time came back as post menopause.

Everything has been great, no low moods, no hot sweats and much better sleep. Two days ago I started have a very light bleed and had the normal menstrual signs (sore breasts, slight pelvic ache). I've have a phone consultation booked in a couple of weeks with doctor but wondered if anyone else has had this? I thought my monthly days were over. Thanks

I have this too on the exact same medication. It's a pain and I hate it.

It's usual to wait 12 months after a period before using continuous combined hrt- 2 hormones daily- so that would be June 2020. Using conti before that can mean if your own hormones break through before you are fully post meno, you can get a period. You need to see your GP and they may arrange a scan as in theory you are having bleeding more than 12 months after your last period and they usually want to investigate why. Prob just the HRT but see gp.

Thanks for your replies - I will see what doctor says in a couple of weeks and update
