Hi, I've waited nearly two years for an appointment at the menopause clinic and at last I've been prescribed HRT. The clinic sent a letter to my GP of what to prescribe. When I spoke to my GP she prescribed the Estrogel pump which was what I wanted and the meno clinic had advised. But the problem is the meno clinic advised a 100mg of utrogestan pessary which is what I wanted but as the GP couldn't find the pessary on the system as 100mg only 200mg she insisted on giving me the 100mg tablets. I don't want to take tablets as I have a phobia about taking any tablets which I tried to discuss with her but she wouldn't budge.
I don't know what to do now as I can't take the tablets and I have no quality of life due to the menopause. It all just feels so hopeless.
Should I try to contact the meno clinic over the utrogestan issue, though it could be months before I can talk to them again.
It just feels like all the medical professionals are doing what's easiest and cheapest for them.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
