Gymfreak Jun 2022 4:54pm, 22 Jun 2022 9,637 posts	0 Gymfreak I’m getting so fed up with the annoying bleeding. For about 3 months, I just would bleed for a morning every week or so and then stop, with no proper period. More than spotting, proper bleeding for a few hours. Then nothing for a few days, but it’s just like I need to wear a pad at all times in case. Now I have had a full blown period for 3 weeks. It’s not getting any lighter either, full flow for 3 weeks ffs 🤦‍♀️

Meglet Jun 2022 9:45am, 23 Jun 2022 22,714 posts	0 Meglet One of my friends tried HRT and just bled continuously so has given up. Her thyroid levels were on the low side of normal but her symptoms were hypothyroid so she’s now taking thyroxine and so much better. She accepted HRT doesn’t suit her.
