When I started on HRT just over a year ago I was having periods approx every 60-70 days.
I have three pumps of gel daily and progesterone tablets for 12 days every month. I have light bleeding for 4 days, ten days after starting the tablets.
It's very predictable and manageable, but does this mean I will have these "periods" forever, or until such time as I stop HRT.
As I understand it the progesterone is taken to avoid thickening of the womb lining and does so by shedding it in the same way as a period. So, if I keep taking oestrogen, I need to keep bleeding?
