Hi there everyone. I wonder if anybody could relate to my experience at all? I have been on HRT Utrogestan, and Evorel 75 patches for approximately 2years. I was on Evorel Conti 50 for about four years before that. I was changed over to the Utrogestan and Evorel 75 when I was 55, and the doctor considered that I was probably through my menopause ( how do you ever know if you are on hrt?). No problems on Utrogesten, and Evorel 75. I was getting a little bit of pain in my lower left abdomen, near my left ovary, and in December I went for an ultrasound and a small fibroid was detected. Last Tuesday, I started with some brown bloody discharge, and then by Thursday this had increased to a period like flow which I still have today.
I have just spoken to my GP who gave me the choice of coming off my HRT immediately for six weeks and seeing if the bleeding stopped, or carrying on with my HRT and being referred for a routine gyne appointment which will maybe months.
I am quite shocked I’m very upset by all this. I have decided to come off my HRT and pray that the bleeding stops.
I know that nobody can give me any reassurance, so I hope it’s okay to just post and ask if anyone has had any similar experiences?
Please be gentle, I’m not in the best of places at the moment, thank you
