Hi everyone,
I came on here to find out more about HRT as I am about to start it.
After researching a bit on here I decided that estrogen patches and utrogestran would be safest for me. But my GP (who is a very young female who has never seen me before...I don't know why I keep getting different doctors about this subject) rang me today and told me that Utrogrstran is not licenced in the UK and therefore she cannot prescribe it? I was shocked as I see many of you talking on here about it. What is the truth? I looked on the British menopausal society and found that it IS listed there as a treatment...what is going on? This is a nightmare to get GP's to listen and give me what I think is safe. My Gp instead said she would put me on estrogen and progesterone combined patch. I was really hoping for the micronised progesterone, as isn't this more bio identical?
Can anyone help with a link to the truth about it being licenced? it must be licenced surely or some GP's couldn't prescribe it?
