That is great news! :)

Yes but i have resigned myself to the fact that I will eventually have to use different patches and I may even prefer other ones, I just didn't really fancy changing patches having only just started hrt at the end of august xxx

I can understand that. It is not nice to have to chop and change. At least for now you have the patches you feel okay on.
-
Yes thankfully.
I hope you're keeping well, flossieteacake xxx

That is really helpful Dotty.
I have managed to locate one box of 25s. They do seem to have 50s in stock here no problem.
so I suppose I could always get the 50s and cut them although I did have a bit of a discussion with the pharmacist who said that the patches shouldn't be cut as they make them ineffective. I told her that the patches can be cut and many ladies use them as such xxx
-
That's okay.

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me.

We help one another don't we xxx

Yes get the 50s and cut them :).
-
yes i will Dotty, thank you xxx

How ridiculous. I was told last month by 5 pharmacies that Estradot wasn't available, so had Estraderm instead.. so are they having to swap us all around and create shortages? 🙄

Hi Tulip,
I have some estradot 25's unused 3 boxes, you can have them if you want.
If you do want them private message me your address xxx

I had the same thing happen this week. My chemist was out of stock of Estraderm MX25 patches and told me to keep phoning up to see if they're available or ask my GP to change my prescription. If I run out, I'll just start taking Estradiol tablets again as I still have some. My GP wanted me to switch to patches as I've been taking tablets since 2017. I was getting on surprisingly well with the patches.

I've been getting on great with the estraderm, hopefully I'll be ok on the mx 50's.
This whole supply issue seems to have been going on for a few years, as I was looking through some of the older posts the other day and there seems to have been supply issues a few years back.
I still say if men had periods, menopause etc. we wouldn't be having this discussion. Even my hubby agrees xxxx
