The shortage is alive and kicking - I'm in London and misguidedly thought supply wouldn't be a problem here. Ended up bursting into tears on being told at my pharmacy that they didn't have it, couldn't get it and had no idea when it would be available. Went to a few Boots branches, more bursting into tears on being told none available and no idea when they would have it. Three hours of trawling around later found one box at Superdrug who issued an IOU for 2 more but said no idea when they would have it back: "could be weeks or months" (literally).
All this on the back of my GP surgery having rejected my order via the app over a week ago because the pharmacist wanted to review my meds (they had no answer to my question of why they couldn't talk to me about my meds without in the meantime withholding the utrogestan on no medical grounds which resulted in my being without any for 4 days when I am now on conti following a hyperplasia scare with hysteroscopy nightmare.
So just to advise that people order well in advance of when they need it, especially if mentally wobbly and liable to meltdown if HRT not available.
