Just back from my appointment with the nurse to get more of my combined pill.
We had a quick chat and she told me I could take it for as long as I wanted. Until I was 53 or 54 even. She said there's so many good things about the pill that don't ever get mentioned. She gave me a year's supply to take away. Just like that.
Have to say, I was gobsmacked. One of my GPs refused to proscribe the combined pill after 45. A couple have said they wouldn't prescribe it after 50.
I felt like she treated me like an adult. It's one of the few times I've had that feeling, going to see someone in the medical profession. I told her that.
I'm pretty tired this evening. I walked to my appointment (it's a fair bit away), and I had to wait a bit as they were running 45 minutes late so I was a bit stressed when I went in.
I went for a window shop after, which was unexpectedly quite relaxing as I'm trying to cut back on what I buy and can look but can't buy (I'm on a replacement only no buy for makeup, skin care, hair care, clothes, accessories and homeware).
