On Evorel Conti, but bleeding constantly

I’ve been on HRT for 4 years, over a year ago I switched to Evorel Conti. I continued having periods for a while, but for at least two months this has switched to daily bleeding. My breasts are also swollen and sore. I spoke to my GP who requested a scan, I haven’t got a date for this yet. I’m in my mid fifties. Has anyone got any thoughts on this? I had thought that I would stop having bleeds when I switched to Evorel Conti patches.

I have the same problem. Last summer, the bleeding was investigated and the scan found a polyp. I had a hysteroscopy to investigate and the polyp was removed (nb hysteroscopy can be painful, so i opted for a general anaesthetic - in case you're offered one).

After this, my HRT dose was adjusted (was told I needed more progesterone). I stopped bleeding for a bit, but it soon started up again and now I'm bleeding randomly again. It's maddening.

I'm seeing the GP about it tomorrow and assume my HRT dose will be adjusted again.

I hope you find a solution.

I had this at 61. Been on HRT for 11 years and was getting monthly bleeding. Went on conti and bled for 31 days.
I came off it. Sick of trying different HRT over the years.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, it’s reassuring to hear that it happens to other people. I didn’t expect it

Mikart, I'm having the same problem. Plus my DH and I can no longer have intercourse as it's too painful, it was one of the main reasons that I tool it in the first place. I stopped taking it 2 days ago. How are you feeling now you are off it?
