I am so fed up with the NHS at the moment.  I tried to get dydrogesterone but was told it will not be available in my area for a long time as the local Formulary is not even reviewing it and my GP will not prescribe anything that they don't list.  Ended up getting the Mirena instead as they insisted it would only have local side effects but now dealing with bad systemic side effects, wondering when to give up and go private for dydrogesterone.

Hi,

I am also very interested in trying this. I have also had problems with progesterone. Currently on Cyclogest (private prescription).

Just saw that Nalvee is now covered by the HRT prepayment certificate!

I'm going to ask for this at my GP appointment later this week. Has anyone else managed to get a prescription for it?

Has anyone had it prescribed yet? I'm off to get a script tomorrow from private GP but it's where to go to get it??

Hi - I just got a private prescription as GP is also dragging their feet referring me to an NHS menopause clinic. Any pharmacy should be able to order it once you have a prescription. Two local chemists told me they can get it ok.

Yes ordered, thank you.  Hope you get on with it 🙏

I have been prescribed it, but my pharmacy have found it to be out of stock at the supplier.

Bit frustrating, really
