Title: BHRT clinics
Post by: CrispyChick on August 30, 2022, 10:01:50 AM

Hi folks

I'm on an interesting path, which i won't bore you with here. I know the chat on bhrt can be quite quiet on this forum - but I think there are quire a few ladies use it.

I'm looking for doctor recommendations at bhrt clinics who offer both bhrt and mainstream hrt.

Please could you dm me if you have a recommendation - to avoid any issues on here.

Many thanks  ;)

I have a great one (LHC) - which I'll DM you about - but they have not been taking on new clients for the past year as they were inundated and are a small clinic and want to retain a quality service for their existing clients.

That in itself shows their commitment and morality compared to some of the non-BHRT private clinics that appear to prescribe the same to each client and do not give good value for money.

Those that offer compounded bioidentical hrt CLKD. I'm specifically looking for one that deal in both compounded and mainstream.

Thanks Dangermouse. Much appreciated x

Crispy, sorry I missed this earlier but as far as I'm aware they all offer conventional HRT with compounded.   I just told them that is what was what I wanted.

Thanks folks. Had a few messages too.

Mary - are you saying the clininc you use (and I have used) do offer conventional hrt e.g utrogestan?? X

Crispy, yes I'm pretty sure you can.   Putting it bluntly, I didn't ask them, I told them what I wanted ie conventional oestrogen which I obtain myself and I wanted them to provide me with progesterone.

If you have any trouble getting hold of Utrogestan, send me a message!

OK great thanks Mary.

Im not actually sure I'm ready to try it, but I'd like to have the option.

Actually - I'll away and send them an email to ask. I just assumed they never offered it.

Thanks  ; :)
