Estra Noreth Symptoms

I have been taking estra/noreth 0.5 for a little over a month for menapausal symptoms. I havent had a period for 5 years and started bleeding. I know that breakthrough bleeding is a side effect but was wondering if this is temporary or will happen every month?

Hello, Kitty! How are you? Sorry about the bleeding, I know that's something we certainly don't want back, once it stops!

Since you are post-menopausal, any bleeding should be checked by your doctor just to be safe and make sure that it's only being caused by the HRT. However, it most likely is nothing to worry about, it happens to most women when they take HRT and it usually only happens once.

Even though you are menopausal, your body still produces estrogen, which does cause buildup of the endometrial lining…it's just a lot less and a lot slower now and the addition of the hormones was probably enough to kick the lining to the point where it needed to slough off, just as it would have, when you were younger and experiencing your regular monthly cycle.

Is there anything else I can help with? Are there any other questions or concerns?
