Im going to be 51 in June I buy my pill from Boots (Hana) i was buying the latest box on Friday when i was asked the usual question , Does my GP (lol) know that i am on it. I usually say yes which isnt true as i cant get through to my GP Ive tried phoning, e mail and even Twitter. This time wasnt the usual pharmacist and he asked when i last had my blood pressure taken. I said a long while ago. He also asked when i last had a period (i had three light bleeds in 2022) Nothing since. I said there is no way of knowing whether my periods have stopped due to pill or menopause. He said it was more likely the latter and suggested only buying a months supply of Hana until i could see a doctor and get his advice confirmed. I did smile wryly at that and repeated how hard it is to get a GP appointment so bought my usual three month supply to give me more time. He did try to take my blood pressure but had to stop as i found it too painful. It wouldnt have been an accurate reading tbf as id been rushing about all afternoon.
