Hi everyone
I just joined today. I'm totally confused/stressed and just need to offload and hopefully get some guidance.
My gp put me on hrt in March to see if it helped with my ms like symptoms.
Things haven't improved, in fact they have got worse, but I am going to stay on the hrt as my tests showed one level of hormone suggested perimenopause.
I was prescribed 0.5 sachets of sandrena to use one daily, and 100 utrogestan to be taken one before bed for 14 days.
When sandrena was unavailable I was given an oestrogel pump and told to use two pumps daily.
Since I've been on hrt I've had spotting which has been worse this month. I have a gp appointment on Friday to ask if I can have my prescription increased to take the recommended starting dose of 200mg of utrogestan. I'm so stressed incase my gp won't do it. And I also want my prescription for the gel changed as well as the 0.5 sachet of sandrena is below the recommended dose.
Can I ask what others are on please, and if you asked your gp for an increase, did you have to fight for it? I'm going on holiday on Monday and would like to take the increased dose while I'm away, meaning I'll only have Friday and Saturday to get the prescription processed and collected.
Thank you
