Poll- Did vaginal estrogen cause spotting for you?

I see it's a listed possible side effect for the vaginal E cream and am just wondering how many people had it in the first 6 months? I'm about 5 weeks in after taking a break and think it's caused it for me. I'm on continuous birth control so don't have periods. I'd just gone to 3x a week because just sitting too long hurts a little down there and I was trying to prevent more atrophy.

I switched off depo provera and Bi-est cream that I was doing well with to try bcp's at my Dr's preference, but couldn't handle the side effects so after 6wks I switched back but with a little higher dose of E. I'm much more hungry and am feeling kinda anxious and irritable and upset and don't know if it's from stress or if higher E can cause it?

I've seen male to female transitioners comment about E making them really hungry but I thought it was P intolerance that caused these mood issues, not E?? I got my first hotflashes 8 months ago so my hormones are likely still dropping too.
