[quote=Anonymous]Cross posting from meno group bc there have been zero responses in several hours.

I am 52yo. Still perimenopause. In the last year or so I only had 2 or 3 periods. Was always like clockwork prior. A few months into this I developed the usual symptoms. Met with a gyn specializing in meno. She started me on estradiol/norethindrone acetate 0.5mg 0.1mg. I've been taking it daily and just started my third month. I have been having frequent heavy periods then lighter bleeding that lasts for weeks. I almost want to stop so i don't have to deal with never ending bleeding. It hasn't caused me to gain weight thankfully. Sleep is better no more flashes. I finally stopped bleeding and I had a blessed five day break. Then my breasts started getting tender and slightly swollen. Both equal, I could tell it was all related to hrt. The next day or so later I started a heavy bleed. After a day or so it lightened up. But I'm still tender. I'm just so annoyed though at weeks of breakthrough bleeding. We have a getaway coming up next week and I mulled over stopping hrt for a week so I don't bleed anymore. But then I read that stopping hrt can cause another bleed.

I talked to gyn once. She told me this is all normal and it will last 3 to 6 months.

What has your experience been? I didn't want to do patches etc. Bc the adhesive always irritated me. My gyn said the tablet was great. I don't weigh much so dosage is low.
