Why am I still bleeding with my ‘period-free’ HRT?

HRT
If you have not had a period for at least one year, you will probably be prescribed a type of HRT known as ‘period-free’. You will take a small dose of estrogen and progestogen every day. Taking a progestogen every day makes the lining of the womb very thin and eventually prevents bleeding. However, the thinning process can take several weeks and during this time it is very common for women to experience some bleeding. This bleeding is likely to be irregular and unpredictable.
