Hi everyone,
Sorry bit of an essay, but I'm struggling with how I take my HRT and I can't get a straight answer from my GP. Can anyone help?
I've been prescribed Evorel 50 patches to take twice a week and then progesterone from day 17 to 28.
The problem is, I don't have a 28 day cycle. My timing of my periods chop and change with no clear schedule. Sometimes it's every month, sometimes every 6 weeks. So after I've taken 10 days of progesterone, I don't get a period.
Here's my question, what do I do at that point?
So far I've just stopped taking the progesterone on day 28, waited until my period arrives (sometimes up to a month later) still using patches, but then once
I've had a period I've then waited 17 days to start progesterone again.
Is this right?
I asked my GP and his response was that my periods should now be regular, end of.
Is this the case and therefore do I need to make another GP appointment because my periods aren't regular?
I've had such a rough time just getting to the point that he'll even prescribe me HRT, even the prescription I now have isn't right, for every box of patches I get issued with 6 months worth of Progesterone every time (I now have progesterone to last me 2 years) So I have no faith in his knowledge. I've also tried some unsuccessful googling so any help on this would be gratefully received. 💐💐💐💐💐
