Hi Janieben, It's curious you were prescribed twice the Estradiol dosage and 3 times the Progesterone I was prescribed. I am on .25 Estradiol and 100 mg Progesterone, but of course, I'm not qualified to comment on the the appropriate dosage for you. The spotting and breakthrough bleeding with BHRT comes up right away on a google search. Unfortunately, I have limited knowledge and experience with BHRT spotting other than mild discharge I mentioned. I also tried low dose Naltrexone for my autoimmune vasculitis a few years ago. I hope you can find the answers you are looking for.

Thank you for your response. I believe you are actually taking five times the amount of E I am taking. .25 divided by .05 =5. Isn't that correct? Maybe my dosage needs to be increased??? I don't know. I changed to NP and am meeting with her this week. She sent me an email saying the American Menopause Society does not recommend starting BHRT 10 years after menopause, so I am thinking she will want me to taper off and stop. She isn't the experienced, knowledgeable professional I hoped she was. I may go off and try again at some point with someone who has more experience with older women starting BHRT.
