Good afternoon Dotty, Taz2 and CKLD, gosh thank you for your helpful information. I had a feeling that something wasn't right so i will call in to have a talk with the pharmacist and set some time aside to try to get to speak with the doctor, she asked me to go for a blood pressure check after 3 months so i will be seeing a nurse in a months time. I didn't really question at the time but due to my lack of phone signal at work when i rang the doctor for my blood test results she returned the call but couldn't get hold of me so left an answer machine message saying that the results were 'fine' and to collect the HRT with a printed instruction. Having read some of the information on this amazing website and forum, it now seems a little vague. I'm really glad that i have joined this forum and asked questions and thank you all again for taking time out to share your knowledge. I'm sorry if i haven't replied properly linking you into the thread, still feel a bit bamboozled with how this works but I'm sure i will get the hang of it.
Best wishes,
Wendy.
