Has the patches shortage ended.!?

Just that really.. I used to use them, they all run out and I ordered from a private pharmacy. Then they run out... then I gave up! I've since used gel/tablets and nothing works as good as the patches for me. Is it even worth me trying to find out if I can get them again 🤷‍♀️

Mine came back in two months ago, Evorel Sequi.

It turns out I get more brain fog and hot flushes on them than the gel and tablets I was using in the interim, however I believe the patches are better for personal health reasons.

Thanks @ChoccyJules I'm
Going to ring the local chemist and see .. I still get terrible hot sweats at night using the gel and tablet combo. It really calm d down with the patches but with the lack of supply I had no option but to try something else. 😬

yes, broadly, but there are regularly shortages of all sorts of things

And... as if by magic the private chemist has emailed to say they have them back in stock!! ☺️

Evorel Conti has been back for a while too. The alternative really didn't suit me so I'm very relieved.
