HRT Supply Issues Getting Worse?

Luckily I haven't been affected by the HRT shortages until this week, but I tried to get some Estradot 75 mcg and not only are these now out of stock everywhere but Boots was completely out of any 75 mcg patch and other local pharmacies have barely anything.

Is anyone else having the same difficulty? I don't like changing brand because it always upsets me for a few days but to not be able to get any at all Confused

I've hopefully managed to reserve some until Monday but the pharmacy hasn't even enough to fill the full prescription amount.

Thanks Lightofthephoenix. I didn’t bother trying again, so I have been off HRT for several weeks now.

I’m feeling generally OK. Having a few flushes but not as frequently as I was before I went on Evorel Sequi in the first place. Feeling more aches and pains though. But interestingly seem to be losing weight. I did notice I put on some weight when I went on HRT.

I think I shall leave it a few more weeks and see how it goes.

I've given trying to get my patches, I was getting them online via the independent pharmacy but they run out and not been back in stock since! So.. I've gone without, stopped drinking wine, and I have to say I'm doing ok.

Hoping for Estradot here in Melbourne. Australian supplies dried up a couple of months ago. Nothing to do with Covid apparently. Supply due to be reinstated July 2021 Confused
