Struggling to get hold of my next 5mg pen

As the title says I have one dose of 5mg left which I'm due to take on the weekend, placed an order with Zava on the 14/8 which is still processing. Don't really know what to do now.

Out of desperation I ordered another 12.5mg pen from my last supplier yesterday. They had it in stock on Monj. I didn't need to refill my medical details. But yet again it's just stuck awaiting approval.

So in total now I have 4 orders with four different suppliers and every single one is awaiting approval.

I hope one gets approved by next jab day at least. I know from reading on here at least two of suppliers are delaying because in that time they have approved and delivered others lower doses.

What happens if stock is held back for the September price increase? Surely they wouldn't do that?

Haven't you already paid for them all? So either they are approved and you get them or they end up being refunded if they can't fulfil the order?

Yes already paid. My worry is I will soon have no doses left and no new pen.

If this shortage carry on until the new price increase date, I will have run out.

Can you check with local pharmacies in your area? This might be your best bet. Walk in, show them your order history and collect in person. I suspect they won't be as impacted as online sellers.
