My periods have become more frequent and prolonged. Should I stop BHRT?

Changes in cycle length and frequency are common during perimenopause, often due to the reduced quality of ovulating eggs. BHRT typically does not affect ovulation or cycle length. If cycle irregularity is disruptive:

• A low-dose birth control pill may help regulate cycles.
• You can continue BHRT if desired, as it does not significantly influence menstrual control at this stage.
