I’m going to run out of patches and can’t get to GP

[thenewaveragebear1983]

I’m on Evorel sequi, and I’m 2 patches into my oestrogen week, and I have only 1 left (change Sunday and Wednesday). I have loads of the combined left. I just happen to have had to replace the oestrogen ones more frequently and have different amounts left.
if I use my last oestrogen one on Sunday, then from Wednesday use my combo for that one, then it’s my combo weeks…. Is that going to work?
I really need to see my gp and I want to see my own and i can’t get an appointment with her at all. I can’t get a repeat prescription because my notes say I need a symptom review before the next 6 months is prescribed.
this will give me 3 weeks to get an appointment before I fully run out.

I would ask GP to prescribe a small amount just to tide you over until your review appointment.

id be tempted to go to the chemist and speak to a pharmacist.

If you're going to the pharmacy, take an old box with your name sticker on. I was working away from home recently, thought I'd taken enough Utrogestan with me, but the box was half empty. I had to prove I'd previously been prescribed it, as it wasn't on my repeats on the NHS system.
