I've just been told by pharmasist he cant get estradot 100 at moment!!!

No more Estraderm for me, 20 years menopause and have never had such bad luck with hrt.😢

Miracle! I had to buy the Evorel conti patch privately, but I got the last box of 24 patches of Evorel 50 Boots had. Thankful to be sorted for the next 6 months, and I still have 3 weeks worth of patches left from my last prescription.

I do have Estradot spare as was given them by mistake!

[Butterfly22]

I agree I've had 20 years of this, but never this bad. It disgusting this is happening. I have depression and ME and at the moment I feel like I'm not far of losing it. Xx

Latest update from the BMS:

https://thebms.org.uk/2019/08/british-menopause-society-further-update-on-hrt-supply-shortages/


There are no shortages of Estradot  .

[Tc]

It was a local pharmacy. He ga e me what he had in stock and said when he tried to order more he couldnt. I will ring round another couple pharmacies and check

[Tc]

He is still saying he cant get it. But I just 0honed lloyds  and they can get it.  Cant fill myscrip though as hes already part filled it. So back to the docs !!!

It just shows it's worth asking around.

Same here it took me a while to get on the patches I am using and be okay. I tried other HRT regimes and nothing else suited me. When they say to go on a different HRT because of the shortages, there is nothing else for me. Hope I don't have to go to Spain to get them eventually. I've got about 6 months of patches. Hopefully it will all get sorted, who knows. It's a bad situation for us, nothing much is being said about it now in the news.

hi all,
I managed to get 3 boxes of estradot 50mcgs/ 24hr patches, ( could of had more) but, no hassel , no probs , no begging the unenlightened GP, ordered them in the morning picked them up im the afternoon, but... im in SPAIN! bought them without prescription, @19euros per box The hassel in the uk with it all is enbarassing to say the least! Only hope it is all sorted soonest!

[pepperminty]

I was told just use an HRT that they have in stock! Would they say that if it were anti depressants? SHOCKING!

That's exactly it pepperminty, we are all different and react differently,  but according to the powers that be one size fits all when it comes to an hrt shortage x

[pepperminty]

Hi Countrygirl,

just seen the news and some doctor that runs a meno clinic kept on saying women can't get the HRT that they WANT- shouldn't she being saying NEED! She said they can explore alternatives! She made it sound like we are a bunch of crazies demanding thier favorite sweeties. OMG - women are really treated differently.
