Pharmacist prescribing sequential HRT after a year on continuous?

[thaneofglamour]

I'll try to cut a long story short. I have been on HRT for about 4 years, first on Elleste Duet ( I had bad ovary pains with this, possibly or possibly not related). I was swapped to Evorel Sequi, then had a hiatus and then Estradot , followed by Estraderm either Utrogestan. All the time on these I have had bleeds but hard to tell if natural after all this swapping about. I have proven allergic to all transdermal HRT.

After a failed attempt with Lenzetto the pharmacist has suggested Femoston 1/10. This is sequential, so liable to lead to monthly bleeds with the ovarian pain associated with this. Why on earth would she suggest this when I have been on Continuous for over a year now and recently had progesterone upped to 2 a day??

I'm at the end of my tether.

Yes, I agree. I need a GP appointment. Not sure any of them are up to much apart from main one ( apparently a specialist)who you can't book.

Annoyingly, I'm off on holiday next Thursday without enough patches to see me through til I come back.

And to add, I am bullet point 2 in two months. I am also bullet point 3. I wouldn't know about bullet point one tbh, because of HRT.

I'd jack HRT in to find out whether I am 'period free' but without it I get night sweats (in fact even with it although not as much) and cyclical nosebleeds.
