Oestrogen emergency. How long will it take?

[wildthingsinthenight]

Have posted before about changing to oestrogel and utrogestan due to progesterone intolerance and got some great help on here.
Made a massive boo boo and now have no oestrogen to take today at all. Was ill in bed the last few days and with having brain fog and being ill I just hadn't registered that from today I would be without. Local pharmacies all have none. Useless gp told me to ring around but didnt prescribe any alternative. Can buy sandrena gel sachets online but will not be here til beginning of next week.
I have terrible health anxiety and am so worried. How long will it take to feel awful again? Almost in tears and really panicking.
Going to ring round again this morning.
I feel so stupid I just miscalculated and got muddled up with the new regime I've switched to.
How long will it take for me to feel bad? Hot flushes etc? Honestly I could cry.
Gp really clueless and took me ages to get it all prescribed in the first place.
Appreciate anyones help/advice this morning.
Thank you
Sorry for being dramatic xx

Also should I carry on with the nightly utrogestan if I have no oestrogel? Or stop it too?

I wouldn't carry on with nightly utrogestan if not taking oestrogen.

Just ring the Drs again, tell the receptionist you need a telephone consult as you've run out of meds and ask the Dr to prescribe a substitute as there isn't any oestogel available locally. It isn't your responsibility to source meds it is the Drs to ensure they prescribe what is currently available. Ring back and be assertive. Good luck.

Thanks so much for replying. I was in a bit of a state this morning. Thank you for your advice. The 8th pharmacy I rang took pity on me and managed to give me 1 bottle. I still have to ring my gp and and let her know how hard it was to get hold of. Hopefully she can help though I don't hold out much hope!

@wildthingsinthenight If you are using Utrogestan on the 12 days a month cycle, you should carry on until day 12. Then you will have the withdrawal bleed. It's not advisable to stop it half way through a cycle (or wherever you are in the month.)

If you are taking it daily (post menopause) then you can stop when you stop the estrogen. If you have not being doing this regime for long, be aware you may still have a slight bleed or spotting.

Thank you @JinglingHellsBells
So helpful as usual
I am on 12 days a month of Utrogestan.
I now have some oestrogel so (latest) crisis averted. For a short while anyway.
It's been a stressful few days.
Friday night needed
Thanks again both xx
