Sorry to hear this Daisydot. The thing is it's not as though you are asking for something that is not licensed so there is no reason not to prescribe you the cream. On NHS I get Estradot patches, Utrogestan, Vagifem and estriol cream 0.01% - I've never gone privately (except for testosterone which does not currently have a licensed product for women, and is understandably, although regrettably hit and miss re prescription), so if I can then everyone should - it should not be down to induividual discretion if there is no medical reasomn why not - even though you went to a private consultant in the first place. If they won't prescribe it then ask them to refer you to an NHS menopause consultant who will - this is also your right if they are not knowledgeable enough. I'm fuming on your behalf!!!

Hi Hurdity pleased to hear from you.She wouldn't acknowledge the consultants report and said she was referring me to a gynie specialist on choose and book,when the letter came through it was for a gp who has a special interest in women's health at another practice,it seems to be the done thing here to use this process rather than actually referring to a meno specialist,I'm assuming it'll then be this next doctor who would refer me yet again costing the nhs more money when it's totally unnecessary as I've already paid privately for a meno specialist myself it's driving me nuts.Im now on one squirt Oestrogel,one vagifem pessarie every third night and I've run out of the estriol cream which they won't give me any more of,it's all working great for me and consultant has written again stating this and explains again why this regime but I couldn't get the chance to confront them today.Im awful weary tonight and to say I walked out on my file after I'd sat for over an hour today waiting on my appointment infuriated me even more.as I said kick up the ass would be perfect for them all.xx

Daisydot, that is appalling treatment and the reason why so many of us are forced to seek help privately.  Most women don't have the time or the inclination to put themselves through that kind of crap particularly when the GP is completely clueless about HRT anyway and can't give you any good advice.

How are your supplies holding out?  Are you in danger of running out of Oestrogel?

[Daisydot]

Hi MaryG I'm pretty well stocked up I bought some Oestrogel from an online pharmacy in Harley street,they do the Oestrogel and not the oestrodose so thank you for asking.
I did actually get Oestrogel and vagifem from gp previously but they seem to be blocking my repeat prescription requests and I'm all out of fight at the moment but I'm sure after a couple of days rest I'll resume battle lol.many thanks xx

[Hurdity]

It's the Estriol cream that Daisydot has been unable to get on her prescription Mary G, not estrogel which I think is OK - is that right Daisydot?
