Why is my bleed getting latter on cyclical hrt?

[HairyKitty]

I take 2 x progesterone on 12 days of my cycle. Its 8 days since I stopped taking it and still no bleed.

What would cause this? Is it too little progesterone or too much or something else? And does it matter?

Its pretty annoying as for the whole gap which is now very long I always have very poor sleep again so it’s exhausting.

I've only just started hrt but had no bleed on my pg fortnight

My bored usually comes a week after the testosterone weeks. Do week 5/1. Iyswim?

Can you take one a day for 25 days instead? Then 3 days off, then start again. To help with sleep more consistently through the month. This is what I do.

My bleed got lighter and lighter and now seems to have stopped. I think it's common and a bonus!

@SimpleHoardOfTruth no not really as without hrt I’m still having regular monthly periods, also my preference is for a regular monthly rather than none.

Im wondering, if I didn’t apply my oestrogen properly for a few days, could that have affected things?

I was having this issue, also barely there periods - I may not have had enough oestrogen looking back (test showed too low initially and I had flushes again) also possibly post covid issues but the Gp suggested continuous and also raised patches.

I've decided to try 25 days orally and 3 day break. I tried going back to cyclical but clearly need the progesterone (after struggling with it initially and using vaginally!)

Interesting I was wondering about oestrogen levels as I started to get insomnia and night sweats, but gp is asking me to try to reduce dose and I’m sure won’t consider increasing (on 3.5 pumps per day).
