Starting on HRT
Posted , 5 users are following.
HI - after alot of debate I have finally taken the plunge and started taking Kliofem HRT. I am currently in my 3rd week of taking and my hot flushes have virtually stopped and I'm managing to get 6-7 hours sleep which is absolute bliss after managing on only 3/4 maximum for the last 2 years. I am a single mum of 51 and have 2/3 different jobs which can be extremely tiring so sleep is a major issue. However, I have now started having a period which I was not expecting and quite frankly don't want. It's been 18 months since I last had a period and I'd forgotten how restricting they can be. Has anyone had the same thing happen to them? I'm hoping that my body will settle down and the periods will stop . Can anyone out there let me know if this has happened to them and convince me that I should stay on HRT! Oh to be a man!!!

I havent' had this happen but have heard that it can, perhaps you may just need to have your doctor adjust the dose. Worth a call into them. Glad you are feeling better xo

Annoying when you have not had them for a while but a small price to pay for feeling so much better I think.

I read a lot before I asked to try it and the gynocologists were saying that you will bleed on it for about a week.
My GP said you may or may not. I'm coming up to three months on it.
I take the progesterone part separately 12 days of the month and bleed from day 8 and stop the day after I finish taking it.
They are slightly heavier than my own ever were.
I think some women take a lower dose of the progesterone for 24 days and don't get a bleed. But taking it the way I am I at least have a good idea of when the bleed will happen.

I have been on HRT for three months and like you really didn't want to take it but felt my quality of life was unbearable.
I had a little bleed but that was it, I haven't had nothing since.
Hope this helps as I was so nervous about starting with HRT. My patches sat on the kitchen table for a week before I stuck one on.xx

I love HRT & would not come of it, I feel normal again. We dont need all this stress in our lifes with the change, the hot sweats felt like torture with the constant waking up. Have a chat when you go back if it continues! Good luck XX
