Hi everyone
Me again.
I have recently increased from 2 pumps Oestrogel to 3 and feel loads better, my anxiety has decreased and I feel more positive
So when I got my first prescription of Oestrogel and progesterone tablets 10 weeks ago Dr gave me 2 bottles gel and for 3 packs tablets (100mg continuously)
I worked out as I have upped to 3 pumps a day I need 5x 160g bottles for a 3 month supply, is this right?
I asked for this and prescription was issued but I picked it up today and only 3 bottles have been authorised along with 3 packs tablets
I have questioned this and was told I could ask for the other 2 bottles but would have to pay again! I already paid the 2 prescription charges 😞
 Pharmacist and GP receptionist were helpful and totally understood what I meant so hoping my prescription will be changed so I can get the 5 bottles next time and that I don’t run out too early 😳
Just wanted to check my calculations are correct?

Yes indeed, if you were taking four pumps a day you would need two bottles per month roughly so 6 every three months.

Thanks Gnatty, I thought the Dr would have known this 😞 I hope I don’t run out
I will have to request and pay for more if I do
Thanks again
