@Hairobsessed123 If it makes you feel any better, I too have ordered privately, just so I don't run out as being off HRT, is not a happy thought.

@RainbowRaine absolutely!! Was not changing or going without not an option !!!
Glad it’s not just me panicking!! X

Its taken me 3 weeks to get a 4 week supply of everol sequi, which is my first HRT prescription, needless to say I have just asked my GP if they can issue a further prescription as I don't want to have any interruption ins supply. Fingers crossed..Hmm

I have seen this too. Yet an independent (ie private) online site I checked has run out of ES. Doesn't add up. When private supply is impacted, there must be a serious shortage for NHS patients.
