I have used Norothisterone continously for 11 years to stop periods due to endometrosis, I have tried to stop but get the pains back bleeding mainly clots and tender breasts. I am 51 and currently taking 10mg a day previously 50mg. My question is how will I know when menopause starts if I am taking this hormone. I wa sthinking about trying a progesterone natural cream instead so i can stop the tablets. Regards Sharon King

Hi.
Thanks for choosing HCM.
You have to understand that usually the menopause is around 50 years of age +/- 2years.
Unless you stop the hormone you are taking you will not be able to know this.
However you are also at risk of the side effects of hormones during this period.
So see a Gynecologist & get an abd-pelvic Ultra sound scan done & follow the directions of the doctor.
