Ask Emily — hormone replacement therapy

QUESTION:

Why has my period changed since I started HRT?

ANSWER:

Any time you add or change hormones in your body (including the use of birth control pills), changes in your period can be expected. The hormones introduced in HRT are competing with the same receptors as the hormones you make in your body, so more or less of one hormone may cause an imbalance or rebalance, depending on the state of your hormones prior to starting therapy.
