Hi MrsMopp
the doc is just another of the many who really have not got this covered for us.
As others have said the options for Evorel she showed you was either sequi or conti (for peri or post meno).
http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/perimeno.phpWhat you've got is a low dose estrogen only Evorel.
This is wrong and your doc should be apologizing profusely.
Think whether or not you want to complain but make sure its after you get the new prescription first.
I think some of this comes out of the reluctance to prescribe, this diverts the docs attention away from what they are giving you.
You can try what you've got until you get a new prescription btw.
As long as you get Evorel Sequi or Conti soon then you'll be fine.
Sequi (your still having periods up to a year apart)
Conti (your at the point where you have no period for 1 year or have been on the sequi for 1 year)
In the meantime phone them and ask for correct prescription and don't worry.
