menopause/unusual bleeding

Good evening,

I have been on HRT for 2 years, switching to continuous HRT last December, increasing my dose of estrogen in April 2024. From June, I've had bleeding and in October my progesterone dose was increased to 200mg a day. I had some brown spotting, and now a bleed (like a period).

I haven't been on top of my smear tests, so I have everything going through my head atm. GP has referred me for an ultrasound and refer to gynae. I have no other symptoms apart from the bleeding, which coincided with the change in HRT regime. Has anyone got any advice on what I should be asking for, other than what GP has done.

Thanks

  • Hello rebeb

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some unusual bleeding recently. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned but good to know that you've already seen your GP and they have referred you for some investigations. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your appointments but if in the meantime you'd like to talk with one of our nurses for some advice and support you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any information and reassurance they can. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
