As a new by to the forum I Wanted to say Hi everybody - I'm 57 and after my initial (bad) experience with Evorel patches 4 years ago I have only recently felt desperate enough to want to try HRT again. I am on week 3 of Estrogel pump pack / Utrogestan 100mg which I'm taking continuously. So far-so good! My hot flushes have subsided and I'm sleeping better. Am feeling a bit bloated , as if about to mensruate, but that was kind of expected.
In order to be organised I requested a repeat RX from my surgery in plenty of time so as not to run out, however when I presented the RX To my local Lloyds pharmacy I was told that the Estrogel pack is now unavailable for the foreseeable!!!!! Knowing how popular the Gel pack is I am wondering if anybody else has come across this?? Is there really only one Gel pack to choose from? Does anybody know why the Estrogel pack has become unavailable?
