A couple of months ago I posted on here that I had changed my doctor and moved to another surgery. After two years of putting up with ignorance and incompetence regarding hrt I thought enough is enough.
Anyway, this morning I had an appointment with the new doctor, who incidentally is a middle aged female. What a revelation! She is so clued up on the whole hrt issue and women's health in general. She is up to date with all the latest guidelines and when I asked about upping my patch strength she said "let's try it because age shouldn't determine the dose, the correct dose for an individual is the one that relieves the symptoms". She is such a breath of fresh air and I told her I was so happy to have found someone at long last who is so positive about hrt and its benefits. She also said if I ever consider the Mirena coil she will fit it for me in the surgery. ( my previous doctor said it couldn't be used for hrt and she couldn't fit them anyway. She also had never heard of Utrogestan😡)
So ladies,I suppose the point I am trying to make here is,don't be like me and put up with poor treatment from a doctor, get out there and search for a new one. It may not be easy but it is possible!
