Hia gals,

I've just been to fill my Ogel script and still no stocks, I'm in Kent.

I've looked at the BMS website but no update since 20th jan 2022.
Have you been able to get your gel as normal?

[Katherine]

Hi, I have but I live up north. I hope you are able to get yours soon. x

I live in West Yorkshire and got my new prescription today, but nowhere has it🤬

[Wrensong]

I'm in middle England & had to wait a week as pharmacy said out of stock at first.  Have you tried an online pharmacy?

[Mandyjw]

Yes it’s in short supply I’m also in Kent

[Tinkerbell]

Picked mine up from an independant chemist i use last week with no issue, i am in Hampshire.

Thanks, everyone for your replies and help, I'll have to check out some independent ones as mainstream pharmacies seem the worst hit, even my online option has none. I can see I might be galavanting all over Kent in the search.

Logie hi, that is very kind and so caring of you 
I'm not sure what the guidelines are on this, let's see what others say and if they know, and then I can PM you. x

I can't get it in the south-central area. I've had to get back in touch with my GP to ask for Lenzetto or Sandrena instead.

Can’t get Estradot patches here on south coast.

Just picked mine up today, Derbyshire.

Hi gals,

Still can't get my Oestrogel, it's starting to stress me out. I've been calling all the pharmacies around me every few days 

I am quite worried about changing  What alternative hrt have you been switched to? And Is the transition period from one to another difficult symptoms returning wise?


Thanks in advance for helping a sister out

My chemist managed to forfill my prescription this time but said it was a struggle to get oestrogel! They said they might have to put me back on patches if they can't get it next month! I've settled on the gel but I had the patches 1st and managed well on them. It's a bloody nightmare 😫 😕 😞!

[sheila99]

I wouldn't worry too much about changing. As long as you keep the same dose it should be pretty much equivalent. I changed from evorel to gel because of an allergic reaction, there was no return of symptoms

There’s an email address in the BMS update which someone on this site pointed out to me. I took it to my chemist- they emailed with th & I now have got a supply after 4 weeks of worry!

[Hopeful]

My chemist is unable to get any at the moment and have a list of ladies waiting for supplies 🙁 I have 2 weeks left so fingers crossed
