just starting h.r.t - Menopause Message Board

hi after a getting lots of information from 4 doctors.
i have just started h.r.t this week.
when the dr was writing out the slip for them he asked me if i wanted the ones that gave me a bleed every month or the ones that did`nt. at the time i thought to myself what a silly question?????? and i said the ones did`nt.
anyway i have just read in a womens mag that h.r.t that gives you a bleed helps to stop cancer of the womb.
i am a bit upset that my dr did not inform me of this.
the name of the h.r.t that i am on is Kliovance. is anyone else on this brand? from what i have read on the web it is a low dose h.r.t????

hi trisha, kliovance is not available in the u.s., so i'm not familiar with it.

i do know that if you have your uterus you should have an occasional bleed to prevent the possibility of uterine cancer.

you may want to talk to your dr. about this.
