What Causes Breakthrough Bleeding After Discontinuing Estradiol Pills?
I missed a few estradiol pills - did not get a refill in time - and I am having breakthrough bleeding. What can I do to stop it? It has been a week. I am about to give up on HRT because if I miss a pill by a few hours I have a period from hell and I am 60. No longer in the mood for such things.

Hello,
It will settle by itself.
Nothing much to worry and no treatment is required either.
As of now, you can take drugs like tranexamic acid to control bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
