Tc, that sounds like an excellent appointment!  And I'm not surprised you cried afterwards, you've been through so much!

Fingers crossed everything works out for you.

[jillydoll]

Aww wow TC sounds like a good plan...
Just to say, I loved that sandrena gel, when  I was on it...it is strong stuff. Hopefully you'll be great on it...
She was really thorough weren't she, and a hug afterwards too,😆 I'm praying this works out for you...you deserve some happier times, and I'm hoping this is the way to go for you..
Just a bit of a bugger you've to wait til February, but, at least your booked in.
Hope the dexa scan goes well too, let us know...
Good luck with it all TC , and here's a 👊🏻 Punch in-the air for you....😉 xx

Fantastic news TC. Now, why aren't all meno docs like that???

You must be so relieved that someone ‘gets' you and what you've endured. The only way is up!!!

I'm over the moon to read this TC, it sounds like she really listened to you and looked at the whole picture. Brilliant news 💐x

Oh that's such good news Tc, makes one feel all pink inside just reading about it! So very pleased for you, that you are now in such good hands.

Much love,
JP xx

Thanks ladies. Realised today I've been on forum a year now. Dont know what I'd have done without you all.

Forgot to add. In case it helps anyone else.

Although my gp and nurse at c and w told me on the phone I didnt need blood tests as these would be done at appt. I didnt listen. I cheekily went to GP and told a fib. Said c and w had phoned and they needed them. So took them with me Also got last 2 scan copies.

The doc said the fact i was well prepared had saved time. As c and w is not in my own health trust they dont have access to records. Plus my previous bloods would have been out of date so wouldve had to be done again.and possibly so would scan.  So she had a good picture to start from and it helped moving things along.

Hi Tc

SO pleased to hear your appointment at the C and W went well, you had plenty of time there with an experienced medic, were listened to and have a plan of action!!!

You must be feeling so positive about knowing you are in good hands and able to try out new regimes. Please please don't be disheartened if you have some disappointment and side effects along the way and concnetrate on the fact that you are going to feel better and better overall!!!

Yes Sandrena is more concentrated than Oestrogel - which means you get more estradiol for a given blob of gel so less to spread out. I used it for a while - it's a bit sticky but as long as you rub it in well and do somethong else while it's drying before dressing - then you should be fine!

All the best and of course keep us updated!

Thank you ladies. Thanks for all your support.

My supply of estradot ran out today so I  am starting the sandrena hurdity. I've got an  estradot script which I couldnt get filled at the time but might be able to now  if I feel worse on the sandrena.  But doc said she doesnt want me messing around too much. To stay on gel until next blood test. Thanks for the tips. Xxxx

Hi Tc,

Are you feeling better? I hope you can get hold of Estradot, because AAH is out of stock of Sandrena as well. It's a bloody nightmare.
