I had a hysterectomy and overy removal im in my 30s so I have to take HRT, im currently on 4 pumps per day which is the max dose.

I have stupidly ran out as I thought I had 1 bottle left but now cant get any. My mood has plummeted and Im really just feeling really depressed.

If I run out of HRT my doctors are brilliant and make sure they give me an immediate prescription.

Have your GPs said no?

They are processing it but it normally takes about a week. Its just getting through the next few days which will be hard

Surely you've told them how important it is?

Can you hook an emergency GP appt on the day and get a prescription in hand there and then?

They probably dont realise the seriousness.

Sorry to jump on your post. I've also had ovaries removed.

How has your libido been? And your mood when you've not run out? :) I'm really struggling with mood and libido. I'm on 0.75mg estradiol patch.

Libido has been fine, and normally my mood is fine when I have not run out but I had to increase to 4 pumps of the gel to feel better.

Thank you for sharing :)

When you say Libido is fine, do you mean it's like non ovulation days levels or ovulation days levels prior to surgery? I'm trying to adjust my expectations.

It is more like ovulation days most of the time
