I had all tests before having hormones. I have spotting during the months. Is it normal

I had all tests before taking hormones. When I started the hormones, I started spotting and I still do. My md gave me higher mg. but I still have spotting. It stops for 3-4 days and starts again, not much but just enough to ask you is it normal, is the mg not high enough or hormones are not good for me? Please can you answer.

Hi Marie,

I'm not sure what tests you had before going on hormone therapy. I've read that one of the side effects of hormone therapy is spotting. However, it sounds like it is bothering you and not just because it is a nuisance! Time to have a heart-to-heart with your doctor or maybe get another doctor's opinion. There are treatments out thre that are not doses of hormones, depending on your symptoms and the reasons you are on hormone therapy. But there has to be a better way of going through life than constant spotting. Seek out a medical professional who will help you through this! Good luck,

--Toni
