I’m away for 10 nights in the Caribbean and have just unpacked and realised that my sandrena gels are in my other make up bag (sat at home)
I only have 4 sachets that I keep as an emergency.
So annoyed with myself as I’ve just got my cycle right and feel good after 3 years.
I take one sachet a day usually and am due to start the progesterone pills in 2 days.
Would I better doing half the dose and miss the last 3 days or just every other day etc.
should I still take the progesterone too or delay?
I used to get massive headaches and bone ache, which is why I started HRT.
Any advice?

Have you checked there is no chemist out there that stocks any form of hrt?

As above, in many countries you can buy it OTC so definitely worth asking. If not I'd take half dose rather than full dose every other day so you avoid fluctuations.

Thank you.
No to the pharmacy, so will do the half dose until I run out and still start the progesterone
-
I think surely there must be a pharmacy of some kind, selling some kind of estrogen, everywhere? Even if it's not Sandrena it would be better than nothing?

I can check again with guest services and see if they know.
We are in a small resort quite a distance from town, so will check before I make a taxi journey

No friendly ladies you've spotted also on holiday who may have spare to share?
