For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I've been on Angeliq for 6 weeks only. It has already helped with my mood swings and sweats, however, since the second week of taking it, I started spotting, and this has increased so much that it is soaking my clothing, and I ended up in the emergency room with severe bleeding, flooding. I've been told to keep on this for another week with tablets to help reduce the bleeding. These are not doing much. I notice that when I've taken a tablet of HRT, I then get cramping and then I flood. So, obviously not good. Anyone else had this?"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I'm 59 and been on HRT for the past 5 years or so; originally PostOval, which helped with my fibroids and heavy periods. Doc then changed me to Livifem, which was fine, but still awful hot flushes and stopped my periods altogether - which was great because my libido also went right up! Been on Angeliq for 3 months now. Stopped the hot flushes immediately, which is fantastic; a bit of breast pain, but actually have little breasts now, which is amazing. However, recently started spotting - it's been more than two weeks now. It's quite annoying, to say the least."
