I'm on my 3rd attempt at HRT. Both previous attempts were a couple of years ago before my periods stopped, and I didn't like the way it made me feel, so I ditched it as my symptoms weren't that bad.
Fast forward a couple of years, no periods for 10ish months, but my sleep is shite, no energy, anxious, very achy waking up in the mornings, itchy ears and scalp and struggling with ibs and bloating so I thought I'd give it another go. I've been on Evorel Conti patches for 3 months with very little improvement in any of my symptoms except the itching is better. However...I am now having heavy long periods again, with sometimes only a week or two between bleeding. Been back to the GP and they have prescribed an additional oestrogen only patch. But from what I have read, it seems to be the progesterone that needs adjusting for the bleeding not the oestrogen? I'm loathe to try the additional patches and make it worse, I have adeno which makes my periods very painful and I really thought I was past that! ðŸ˜
Does anyone have any advice / experience with similar please?
