Contrary to expectations....After being off HRT for 9 months, the
endometrial stripe was still 10mm. Since i've never experienced
bleeding my gyn put me back on estradiol/norethindrone.......
1. Should i be concerned about the non-expected size of the stripe?
2. Do you think it best to return to HRT?
3. How often do i need a biopsy if i dont experience any bleeding.
(i'm postmenapausal).
Thankyou
