I'm 56 years old. Started taking HRT a year ago following about 4 years of symptoms ( night sweats, brain fog, dry vag, no sleep, anxiety etc). No periods for 18 months before starting HRT.
I have 2/3 pumps of Oestrogel in the morning and 100mg Utrogestan in the evening. No breaks.
Initially this worked, my mood lifted, no night sweats so better sleep. I was very pleased!
However, last month I realised I was feeling anxious and had several bad nights. Then my breasts really ached and hurt. Then 7 days ago I started to bleed. Looks like a proper period and it is only just slowing down. I also have a migraine which was a normal period symptom for me.
So, it seems like the HRT has given up.
A recent ct scan ( for gastro problems) showed a fibroid.
Should I be taking HRT with a fibroid?
How worrying is the bleeding post menopause?
I'll try to get an appointment with my GP, but as there is a 4 week wait, I thought I'd seek some advice here in the meantime.
Help!
