So Im in a bit of a pickle with this as hoping its nothing serious and just my HRT change and hormones.

I started HRT the gel and pills a month ago, well late August time and its worked a treat for me. Helping in pretty much most of my symptoms, which I am really happy about.

I was advised to do, 2 weeks on progesterone, then 2 weeks off for this year whilst I am still having periods.

Not been a problem etc, however I accidentally missed a night of taking the progesterone when I was midway through taking them and the next night I came on my period, I was told this can happen with breakthrough spotting/bleeding, even during the 2 week break, but its been 3 full on heavy days of bleeding? I am also usually a month on my period at a time so I am due on roughly this time but before I started HRT I was pretty much 2 days light and I was done.

Is this normal since starting or missing one night? Anyone else had this? I have mild cramp today, but otherwise nothing else and feel good strangely. That day before I started my period, my mood is always so dark is awful but luckily passes once on my period, damn I hate those times!

thank you so much hope someone can shed some light!!
