Has anyone managed to stop the breakthrough bleeding on Evorel Conti

My life has transformed since starting HRT, all the anxiety and panic and overwhelming rage has gone. But.

After just under 5 months I had some bleeding- very light, lasted around 3 days. I had had my Covid Booster jab a few days before.

It's now every 10 days! I was on holiday a few weeks ago and had a proper period,- actual blood and needed to use a tampon for 3 days.

I have read about cutting the patch in half so I did that today, but I'm now doubting myself. I will phone the doctor tomorrow as it has been over two months now that I have been having bleeds, but I really do want to stay on HRT, I just can't bear going back to how I was.

I just want it to stop! Has anyone found it stops once it's started? Thank you.

Yes, me.
Been on it 8 months.
1st 3 months on it were absolutely amazing and removed every one of the symptoms I had. Then I had a bleed. By Christmas I was having a proper 'period' every 2 weeks, so I cut my next patch in half and have done ever since.
I've had no bleeding since and no return of any symptoms. I have a doctors appointment next week to continue on it but I'm not sure to admit to what I'm doing? He'll have to wrestle these patches off me now!!!
