How ridiculous, stupid woman 

Good luck with the oncologist, you really dont need this hassle on top of everything else.

This was a discussion for continuing education units so the sponsoring is not a benefit to the participants and they mention Estrace  cream, your oestrin?, is just slightly more absorbed.  And Estrace would be a 'competitor.'  I would do anything to have my Estrace as I have bladder prolapse and it helps this condition immensely as well.  I could not or would not want to live without it.  Have been on it thirteen years.  I hate Premarin cream, not bio identical, and is from mare's urine.

Thanks for the info!

Estrace cream is estrodiol as I  think Trey will verify, not sure you can get it in UK.

Ortho Gynest and Ovestin are both estriol and are considered the safer hormone so worries about absorbtion would not be such a concern.

The first gp at my surgery that I went to see regarding HRT, prescibed me Ellest Duet - yes Ellest Duet (and not Ellest Duet Conti) even though I made it very clear I was post meno - No periods for 3 years plus and at the time I was 52.............. 

Another GP, most recently, has tried to tell me that Femoston Conti and Ellest Duet Conti are exactly the same, have the same ingredients (or however you refer to it). 

All Nonsense............

If it wasn't for this site, I would never have become so well informed.

The second GP I refer to above, also has some title of specialising in gynae/female issues............ and to be honest is the most hard faced, unsympathetic individual I have had the misfortune to every come across. 

Once when I went in there telling her I was depressed, she gave me that look of .............. you know, snap out of it type of glare. 

So, I think, sometimes, they don't know everything and I think they just know and hear of this thing called "ellest" and churn it out as it's all they know. 

Perhaps, in all fairness to them, they just don't have the time to update themselves? 

I wish you luck BB.
