Hi I started taking combined HRT a year ago, 2 pumps oestrogel and 1 progesterone tablet. This was 2 years after my periods stopped at age 55. Every month since taking the HRT I've had at least one bleed very similar to a period, all the same symptoms etc and lasts about 5 days. Nurses from my surgery monitored me and last month decided I needed a scan as the bleeding hasn't stopped(they had also increased my progesterone but this hadn't stopped the bleeding). I turned up at my appointment expecting an external ultrasound so was completely unprepared for the internal one. As my lining was 5.2 I agreed for the dr to do the biopsy but having had no pain relief at all it was too painful (I've always found smears and internals painful) but for me this was too much so I'm being booked in for a general anaesthetic for the biopsy. I had no bleeding between my periods stopping and starting HRT, could the HRT have thickened the lining? They've also suggested a Mireno coil which I'm not keen on. I'm beginning to think I should never have started the HRT....
