How many days should this gel last? Refused repeat with no details other than it's an early request.

Hi, can anyone help with how many days I should get out of this bottle. If each pump is 25 micrograms and I take 3 pumps a day, 75 micrograms, is this 10 days worth?
I requested a repeat today and the Dr pharmacy assistant called to clarify what product it was, that was cleared up and it was authorised. I then got a text telling me to call back again and they've now said I've requested it too early. I had asked on the first call can they please confirm how long the bottle should last, it's my first one of my new HRT. She said she didnt know but it should be fine and then I got the text.
I'm now worried I will run out because I'm now booked in for a telephone consultation on Friday. I didn't ask for this the receptionist just said it would be best to speak to the Dr. Surely this is a waste of an appointment time and the pharmacist at the surgery should be able to give me a simple answer.

According to this, it should be 64 pumps. At 3 a day, that's 20 days.

BUT I know nothing about this (yet)

Yes 64 pumps divided by 3 = 21 days supply:

I honestly despair how many GPs and pharmacists seem unable to prescribe the right amount of drugs, esp with HRT.

Approximately 64 pumps per bottle.

So 3 pumps daily is about 21 days.

If on 2 pumps daily a bottle should last about a month.

We’re allowed to prescribe no more than 3 months worth at a time.

I use 2 pumps a day and it lasts a month, so 3 pumps a day will be less

You guys are amazing thank you! I'll call and cancel the telephone app and I think I will also speak to the pharmacist re the 29 days. I couldn't see anywhere that said 64 pumps but it was probably in front of my face 😂

I always factor in a few pumps extra that don’t come out right, at the beginning of a bottle, or at the end, or have lots of bubbles in them.

The Oestrodiol stickers are handier in a way as they come in monthly packs… If you can tolerate the glue on your skin!!

@LaJoconde this is instead of the patches because they would never stick properly, when I went for a shower the water got under them too. These were Evorel. Xx
