I cannot understand why lots of different suppliers are all having 'manufacturing difficulties' at the same time x

Hi KateJo, my local Boots store in Bethnal Green was able to get the Evorel Conti after a 2 week delay so didn't go to Brunswick Sq. Also Janssen confirmed they have no manufacturing problems, but are experiencing heavy demand as other HRT products are unavailable. As a result they are restricting supply - in practice this seems to be that it takes 2 weeks before you get the patches after handing in the prescription.

Thanks. In that case I will request a repeat prescription as soon as I have had my follow up appointment at the meno clinic next week (just in case he changes mine at all). Up till now I have only been on half patches and have noticed little change. This week I am trying whole ones to see if it makes a difference.
I did briefly try whole ones at the end of May and then noticed an apparent improvement in my VA symptoms about 10 days later but it didn't last. I want to test it again before I go back to the clinic.
When I asked at the Russell Square branch, they surprised me by saying that evorel Conti wasn't  often prescribed. That wasn't my impression.
