HRT and periods issue - Do I need more of something?

3 replies

I am on Evorel Sequi patches.

For the past few months my periods have been coming after 10-15 days instead of the usual gap (before peri I would have a period days 1-6 and then start again on day 28 ish).

They are also longer than my usual 5-6 days.

These two facts mean that I am bleeding moreover and for longer, whereas I thought the patches would instigate a monthly bleed.

Does anyone know if I need more oestrogen/progesterone? I am going to write it all out in a chart and talk to a GP but am not sure they’ll know what to suggest.

More often not moreover

Normally you'd need more progesterone to control the bleeding.
