I have noticed heavy bleeding during my periods since starting BHRT. Should I stop? Will it make it worse?

Heavy bleeding can occasionally occur with BHRT. If this happens:

• Your practitioner may recommend stopping estrogen temporarily, as most menopausal women using estrogen for symptom relief (e.g., hot flashes) already have sufficient levels.
• Progesterone doses may also be adjusted to help regulate menstrual flow.
• In some cases, testosterone cream may be prescribed to manage estrogen deficiency symptoms without contributing to heavy bleeding.
