I've worked out how to do the copy bit but I can't get it to paste. It is good for watching television on but rubbish for typing.

Had a feeling they would go up to £9. It's annoying when you get given meds and they don't work it's wasted money, also when GP's give you about 6 weeks worth of patches it soon adds up, I always try & remember to ask for more to keep cost down.

I am still fighting with my surgery to get more than 4 weeks of patches at a time ..17.60 for a month whereas I paid that for 3 months on femseven. The number of times Ive gone in to try and sort it and a Dr rings me back and says "Im confused now".....😵

I just find it annoying that if you are prescribed the pill, it's free which is a choice but HRT which the majority of women you have no choice but to take it you have to pay for the privilege, not only that but you may not finish a prescription as it doesn't suit then have to pay again and just hope the next works. Rant over!!

I`m still going round in circles with the Drs trying to get them to prescribe them more than 4 weeks at a time. It costs them no more to give me 3 months in one go than to give me a month at a time but you would think I was asking them to scale everest .... I`ll need to stick 10 patches on at a time if they wind me up much more!

LOL, you're funny! My GP gave me 3 months of femseven straight out of the gate!
It was my first ever experience with hrt, he said he's 3 months of this, go away and see what you think. I tried a couple of patches, got scared and went back for more help and info. Now trying bhrt.
Good luck DQ

Yes TD I got 3 months when I was on femseven but had to swap to Evorel as femseven were discontinued and they apparently only come in boxes of 8. And trying to get them to understand that 3 boxes of 8 Evorel lasts the same time as 1 box of 12 femseven is like a huge mathematical conundrum to them. There`s me thinking Drs were quite intelligent lol
