I am curious to know if the NHS gp's prescribe the oestrogel and ustrogestan? The private menopause specialist that I paid to see prescribed me this. I told this to my gp and, firstly she completely refused to prescribe any hrt, due to family history, but she also said she couldn't prescribe that anyway. She said she prescribes patches. I'm wondering if that an area thing or if the gel etc is only privately? If that's the case, then even if the private specialists say they are happy to let you get from your gp, if they know that's not possible, then it might sound nice, but that doesn't help much. ?! I know my gp does not prescribe it, but maybe others do? X
