Menopause Matters magazine ISSUE 76 out now. (Summer issue, June 2024)
I've used conti patches for over five years, first FemSeven Conti and later Evorel Conti.I loved the Evorel but now cannot find it anywhere. I can't find any patches at all and have been told to change to tablets. I do not want to do that and the doctor won't prescribe Estrogel. Is this a nationwide problem with all types of patches ?I don't know why my apostrophes are showing up as question marks ... weird🤔
Ah thanks ladies, that's interesting regarding suppliers and Boots. I've spent the past two days checking every pharmacy I can physically get to, plus online sources, I was even prepared to buy some to keep me going. I tried contacting Theramex via their website but the contact button wasn't working. Hmmm🤨Maybe I?ll email them.As for the doctor not supplying me with Estrogel, some time back I tried it along with Utrogestan for the prog. I didn't have a problem with the gel but I couldn't cope with the Utro, I've explained this and asked to try Provera but he is adamant I've tried it and found it unsuitable. How I hate this not being able to see a doctor face to face.
Just aswell I came on here, it prompted me to put patch on. When I went for shower earlier patch 3/4 off so took it off, forgot until now to put another on!!
