I know I know, it should be a simple as going to my GP and asking shouldn´t it?

So... I´ve been using 2 pumps gel and Utro 200mg vaginally for 7 months now. I usually get a reasonable bleed but this month I just had brown spotting - quite heavy on day 2 - that lasted 5 days. No red blood at all. I have been using a different brand of gel for a month as unable to get usual Estrogel. Would this make a difference?
I´m also about to start femseven conti as prescribed as I´m post meno (59)and don´t really need to bleed, I´m told.
As some of you may remember, I´m living abroad at the moment but will be in UK for a month in October. I´d like to sort out various issues, including whether I need a scan or blood tests.
Should I get a scan done? can I request on NHS? How long am I likely to wait? If I go private, what do I ask for , and where? Another confusing layer of meno to cope with, with brain fog too. Similar questions re the blood tests. Why would I need it and what do they test for?
