Help With Estra Noreth
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking this medication for postmenopausal symptoms and have been very satisfied with the results. Until 2 weeks ago when I had 1 week of heavy vaginal bleeding. I have not had a period in two years and this did not really feel like a period since it did not slow down, it just abruptly stopped after a week. Now 10 days later bleeding returns and severe cramps. This is not "breakthrough bleeding" or "spotting". I am considering going off these pills.

no, she did explain to me that I may have breakthrough bleeding while on this medication but was not expecting this.
I have cut the pill 1/2 and have not had bleeding but am back to having headaches and difficulty sleeping.

Hello, Tater! How are you?

If you are post menopause and experiencing vaginal bleeding, you need to consult your doctor. That could be the sign of a medical problem.

Have you contacted your doctor, yet?
