Hi all
Moderators - thank you for approving me
I am new to this forum and was interested if any of you are having the same issues as me.
I am a long time user of HRT - coming up to 19 years and not even 54 years old yet! (Ovarian cancer as a teenager = premature menopause)
I was on a 15 year plan to take me to the age of 50 and now on a 5 year plan to take me to 55 and then I reassess
My body has been quite happy taking the Cyclo Progynova 2mg for a number of years however 2 weeks ago was told it was "discontinued" - the Dr prescribed a similar alternative and the chemist came back this Monday to say it is discontinued - yesterday the Dr prescribed yet another alternative and we found out that yes, you guessed it - it is discontinued
So I am now a little anxious as after doing research - alot of HRT is no longer available - it is to be expected I guess in the current climate and logistics impacted so drugs can't be made/delivered - I am also hearing that "discontinued" is not strictly correct in some cases and manufacturers are using this word instead of saying its temporarily unavailable
I am also worried as, as of next Monday I was due to start taking the HRT (the type I was on, had a 7 day gap) and according to research it is not a good idea to go cold turkey - 19 years on HRT to nothing - ok I "may" not have a bad reaction and had planned to try to stop when I got to 55 so not sure if I should have a go now and stop cold ...
Is anyone else still able to get Cyclo Prognynova anywhere?
Has anyone else stopped HRT cold after a long time of taking it?
Is anyone else having trouble getting hold of HRT and having issues trying to find an available alternative?
Many thanks
