HRT and bleeding explained - a British Menopause Society video 

I agree !! I am 58 I have been on ovestin vaginal cream for 2 yrs for horrendous bladder and vaginal atrophy that my gp said is perfectly safe hrt I was very apprehensive going on it in the first place but she insisted eastrogen vaginal cream is very safe and I will be ok I use it everynight as I'm in so much pain with atrophy I started very light spotting for 2 weeks due to thrush as I was red raw inside and out after a gp examination i was never given an explanation that hrt cream can give you thrush and atrophy can make you spot too as soon as I used the canesten cream the spotting stopped virtually after 1st application! but this didnt stop my gp from sending me for a internal ultrasound which I was fine about but the sonographer then said oh your womb has thickened to 10mll this happens on hrt I was told by many woman taking it the sonographer said you will need a biopsy I said do you see anything nasty no but you will need to see a gyne !! so along I went to a gyne who tried to do a biopsy without any anesthetic i was told to take a paracetamol an hour beforehand honestly it was like being flayed alive!! But I lay there crying in pain but suffering it to get it over with She failed the biopsy!! then said I will now need a biopsy and a hysteroscopy to be flayed again!! And my app can take 30 weeks wait uk nhs!! I insisted on local anesthetic when I do eventually have this torture done to me again as I cannot take the pain what the failed biopsy did to me sent out in agony bleeding ect asked if I was wearing a sanitary pad by a nurse then thrown out to just find my way home !! I was crying and nearly passed out with pain an elderly lady had been there before me came out crying and collapsed!! Its time this horrendous flaying of woman stopped if it was a man recieving a vasectomy it would be all bells and whistles for them I'm terrified of what they are going to put me through again I cannot eat , sleep, function I'm living in fear lost 2st in weight due to no appetite through the trauma the gyne put me through I'm still breaking down crying daily my mental health is failing me with fear and the nhs think this is acceptable!! 😢😢😢😢😪

different drs have different opinions... I know one of my favorites (elise Gersh) says that she likes to see estradiol level around 100. This is higher than what others say. I think the average is somewhere between 50-80...

@@jennysiepka9900 Thanks! I was using .05 patch and progesterone 200 mg and my estrogen levels were 48 and I started spotting. We increased my progesterone to 400 mg but it made me anxious. My doctor switched me to .03 patch and my menopause symptoms started coming back mildly so now I am back to .05 and my progesterone is at 300mg and I feel good and no more spotting.
