Well done  :medal:  tell your Pharmacist your result too.

Maybe he would like to run a menopause group ;-).  Or the Nurse Practitioner at your Surgery, it's a learning curve but we shouldn't be educating the medical profession.  Sadly though .......

Do read the threads on vaginal atrophy and bladder issues   ;)

will do and thank you :)

That's great news and will also help other women who approach your doctor's surgery with the same problem!

Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on with the HRT.

I hope it does help in some small way. I have found this very difficult to deal with whereas usually it wouldnt bother me at all. I am a hormornal mess and if other women are feeling as I do they might find it difficult to persist. Day 3 of the patch and I feel fine so far :)

Usually the body doesn't get where it is suddenly so we need to allow the body to take up the HRT - same with anti-depressant medication.  When I got medication I wanted it to work immediately  ::)

Maybe this saga has come to an end! There has obviously been some frantic reading up being done in the surgery since yesterday - they all suddely seem to know what I should be on now! ::). I now have the correct regime with the Utrogestan added for 12 days at 200mg. The pharmacist has now completed his CPD in HRT  ;D ;D

I will be eternally grateful for everyone who has helped me with this - I really just felt like giving up and despite losing my confidence in the specialists in my surgery, I feel well equipped now to be assertive with the medics as Kathleen said.

thank you for the expert advice and hand holding everyone :) :hug: :thankyou:

That's brilliant news anartistatheart! So pleased we could all be of some help!

Glad too that so far you are feeling fine so far on the patch and long may it last. Here's to feeling better and better. :)
