Is it safe to take HRT whilst still having periods?

KERRY B asked:
I had my periods stopped a few years ago due to endometriosis with prostap injections. I was also given HRT to take. Apart from painfull ankles, the treatment suited me totally. I was calm, the PMT dissapeared, I was creative, never depressed not even slightly. Then the Dr took me off the treatment as he said I had been on the injections for too long. My periods have now returned and I find that as the months go by I am feeling lifeless, not creative, tired, depressed every day and generally older. I am 44 by the way. I would love advice for if it would be safe to take HRT being as my periods have returned or will it mess me up at menopause time?
