@janieben , I am 67 and began BHRT 9 months ago. I have a small amount of discharge without any bleeding. I also had mildly tender breasts which resolved after a few months. I have heard of spotting from BHRT. Are you using an estradiol patch and if so what dose are you on?

Slight correction, I am 68 now and began BHRT 10 months ago at age 67.

Hi, Debbie1956. I am on .05 mg Estradiol weekly patch and 300 mg progesterone (taken at night before bed). It seems I have had a spotting issue every five or six weeks. Typically just one day of it, noticing it on tissue, not on panties. But Wed I had to use a pad, also on Thursday. It seems less today but wearing a pad just in case. Started BHRT in Sept 2024. Just wondering if this is normal or if something needs to be adjusted. Also taking low dose naltrexone to help with hashimoto's and have lost 10 pounds in last month.
