I quit hrt therapy in February Since then, I have occasional spotting. Is this abnormal?

Anyway, I'm 65 and I'm scared. I've always been healthy. I quit the HRT because I started some bleeding. The doctor encouraged me to take extra progesterone but it didn't stop the bleeding. Now that I've quit, I have days where I have no spotting and other days when I do. Is this totally abnormal? I have an upcoming doctor's appointment but I'm very stressed.

Thanks for replying.!! It helps me know that our bodies can do strange and unexpected things especially when hormones are involved. I felt better on hormones. I'm hoping this isn't serious!

This week I'm having vaginal ultrasound and then a biopsy. If it's all good I'll try the hormones again. The doctor today didn't seem too concerned but gotta have the tests. Hope your follow up is good! Let me know.

I finally got results back on biopsy. All was good. No cancer but I still have spotting. Very annoying. I wonder when it will end. The doctor doesn't seem to recommend anything. It puzzles me!

Hi suzan, don't worry, this is perfectly normal. It will stop eventually.Been through this a few times myself.

Thank you! I feel more confident knowing I'm not the only one! As of today, I have no bleeding at all but still may have the ultrasound. It's so stressful.!

Don't worry, it will stop... the exact same thing happened to me when I stopped HRT.. it's withdrawal bleeding and it can last a while.. the lining of the uterus comes away at different times as with a period. I promise you it will slow down,lessen and then stop.
