  and to the wonderful World of GPs that have no idea 

If you are in the UK you can go along to your local pharmacist for a chat about HRT products and discuss what you have been prescribed.  They have private rooms.

Also, put the product name into the search box here and see if anything pops up.  Which symptom would you like to ease first, maybe put that in and see any comments: i.e. flushes, skin dryness, vaginal/bladder problems.  Make notes

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Your GP is right, he really doesn't know anything about it! This level of ignorance is astonishing and downright dangerous.

If you have a uterus then you must use a progestogen  alongside the oestrogen patch. It sounds as though you have realised this already. As I no longer have a uterus I can't advise on that, but I'm sure others will be along shortly.

Hi There is a shortage of Evorel Conti at the moment.

You can use the patch you have been given with Utrogestan for the progesterone. x
