Never enough patches

I just need to rant. On estrogen patches, Utrogestan and mini pill tablets. I ALWAYS run out of patches before my pills are finished because I only get 8 in a pack and there's often 9 or 10 needed in a month (I change on a Monday & Thursday) I'm in Ireland so paying for my prescription so I really resent not even getting my moneys worth! I've got 18 days of pills left but no patches and I'll need one for Monday. I bet the viagra dosage isn't like this Hmm

I hear you. British women like to complain about patches supply but it’s all of Northern Europe. I would advise setting up an alert on your phone or a reminder to change your patch every 4 days rather than using one for 3 and one for 4. Doesn’t make a massive difference but does eke out a box of 8 for and additional 4 days, over the course of 12 months it mounts up.
