Bleeding every 20 days on HRT

[PinkPonyCub]

Hello! I started HRT about four months ago. I used to have long cycles (35 days +) but my last couple of cycles have been 20 days. I also feel quite unwell (migraine/headaches/brain fog) in the week that it comes. I thought this was related to ovulation but I’ve started my period today! I’m not sure what’s normal and I feel like I might have messed up my cycle to the point that I don’t recognise it. Short of dialling back the Estrogen (from 3 pumps to 1) I’m not sure what to try. Help!

3 pumps sounds quite a lot, were you advised to use that much? What progesterone are you taking?

I’ve been using two, but moved up to 3 a couple of days ago to see if it helped my symptoms at all. Answer = no

Am taking utrogestan (2 weeks out of 4). I bleed before I finish it.

I didn't get on with uterogestan, you might need a different progesterone perhaps? I swapped back to pill hrt which suited me better. You could try posting on the Menopause board, you might get more traffic on there.
