Would it be ok to post again tomorrow when I get my prescription in case you can help again? You've been great so far 

[Hillbilly]

Well I rang the chemist to check it was in and apparently they are unable to get it fir at least a year 

I asked what it was but I couldn't understand a word she says, it was a really long word  She said my surgery will give them an alternative but I've heard nothing from them.

On the upside I'm feeling better now I'm off the prog, just the usual hot flushes and pressure in my head, so I may just stay off it all.

Morning.  Do ring your Surgery and ask for a doctor to update you.  Then let us know.

re the anxiety...only a thought but my friend (really..my friend not me!) couldn't tolerate any form of prog and eventually ended up on Sertraline...anti dep.  It worked for her ..

Hi Hulahoop

What you are feeling has been felt by so many women here honestly, you?re not going mad and btw I don't think you are overreacting over the BF either.  I'd be really pissed if my hubby did that

It takes a while for many of us to find our ?happy? with hrt.  It could be you?re better off with a pill, or a patch or gel.  That was my order and settled best in gel.  I can't comment on progesterone but I think the vaginal route of Utrogestan seems favoured here.

My missing piece of the hrt jigsaw was testosterone......I had terrible social anxiety and looking back was edging into general anxiety.  Testosterone has given me my life back.  I now go out, have some confidence again, libido comes in waves, I'm either rampant or not interested but the orgasms are just amazing.  I have more energy too and just generally a zest for life again

If you know a gp that is willing to listen you should have a chat with them and ask them to help you find a regimen to get your life back x

[Hillbilly]

Well i rang and was told that the doctor will be issuing an alternative some time today. Never worry that I'm waiting to find out whats going on...! I'm really starting to realise that no one gives a sh*t 

Oh and my bf hasn't contacted me since monday night after I made a comment about him being annoyed about my libido disappearing.  I didn't say anything about the photo's he liked so he's obviously annoyed at my comment. Life is going well...

[Hillbilly]

Sorry, that was really self pitying post 

[jaypo]

Sending hugs hulahoop,life WILL get better,some men are more understanding than others,have you been with him long?

[CLKD]

Do you share the same property? 

Maybe ask him how he would feel if you had a poster of the group of men - name escapes me ? Chippendales ? 

[jaypo]

So are we 

[CLKD]

I got their name correct then  ..........

[Hillbilly]

You're all cheering me up no end 

I've been with my OH for about 6 months but we've been friends for a number of years. No we don't live together as it's still early days.

Funnily enough I did think about liking a post of some male model or something but instead I've come off the site, the news was depressing me and I'm just not in a great place at the moment.

Well he texted me at last, although I think it's because he was expecting me to pop round when I went for my prescription (not allowed I know) he's being lovely and asking if there's anything he can do    I still haven't mentioned the pictures, I'm still upset but feeling a lot brighter now I'm off the prog and I'm not in the mood for a lengthy conversation about it.

In his defence he's just not very self aware, it won't have occurred to him that I'd be annoyed at him liking the pics. I've no doubt he loves me and finds me attractive, he just hasn't thought about what he's done. Tbh I'm more annoyed now at him not contacting me yesterday, he knows I'm struggling and put his own hurt feelings above my situation.

Hi all.

My GP phoned today and I'm staying in oestrogel but swapping to Utro. I was told it was to be taken orally and when I asked if it could be taken vaginally she said it wasn't licenced to be taken in that way. Is there a different capsule depending on how you take it?

[Hillbilly]

That's great Birdy, thank you.

I think I'll give it a go, from what I've read on here there's fewer side effects. Fingers crossed this works
