Katejo that's terrible. A few years ago my GP who was generally great said Im not sure about issuing you vagifem and evorel conti at the same time as the pharmacy may object. I directed him to the written advice I had received from the menopause clinic who advised both .  I got the impression they were a bit more enlightened now. They let me have estriol with the vagifem currently.

Can you get an appointment with the dr or a nurse (who knows about the menopause) to discuss this as you obviously need it and they need to be challenged? Otherwise are there any other GP's near you?

I am so sorry you are having to have this battle and good luck.
I have had them together for several years so I don't know why it has been refused now. It's impossible to choose which doctor I see. My NHS App shows that a doctor accepted my recent HRT review form. I really want to change practices but fear it might be a case of 'out of the frying pan....'.  I have no contact with the menopause clinic any more. The urogynaecologist was very helpful but she isn't there any more. I am hoping that this is simply a misunderstanding/simple error by the doctor. I hadn't requested any Evorel Conti because I don't need them yet but they seem to have supplied them instead of the Vagifem.
It's been so much hassle recently that I am experimenting with phasing out the Evorel. I am trying half patches instead of full ones but have only just started this.
