Been on Premarin HRT for 2 weeks Estrogen only. Read "unlikely to have a monthly period" unless taking Progesterone too. Doc did not prescribe Progesterone as well.. a bit worried?
Surely you are having HRT in the post-menopausal setting? Why would you either want or expect to have a period, or am I reading this wrong?
Progesterone has specific functions, such as protecting an embryo / foetus during early pregnancy. I would imagine your GP has not prescribed it as it has no role to play.
Have you had a hysterectomy? If so, then you don't need a progesterone with HRT.
If you haven't had your uterus removed then it would be beneficial if a progesterone is given.
I assume you HRT has been prescribed for menopausal symptoms?
Tried everything herbal nothing helped. Hot flushes stopped on day 2 of taking Premarin 0.625. Just a bit concerned about no monthly bleed expected unless prescribed Progesterone as well..
I am thinking of stopping it actually..side effects of upset stomach morning sickness feeling all day and extremely dry mouth.. do I have to gradually stop them?
