[quote=Anonymous]This is basically a spinoff from the other thread, where we were talking about having a hard time accessing our estradiol patches because of a shortage.

I switched my prescription from CVS to Costco, because CVS was just not getting my patches in stock. Because of the shortage. Unfortunately, I was given a weird brand from Costco, and my hot flashes came right back on these wonky patches. I contacted my doctor about it, and she said two things: first, she said that CVS is the main pharmacy having trouble getting estradiol patches, and that they should be available at other places, and that she could try to find another pharmacy, but second, she said, I could try the femring, which is a vaginal ring that works the same way as the patches and works for three months.

It’s the Femring. It is different from the vaginal inserted rings that only provide local estrogen, it has enough estrogen to give you systemic dose that treats the hot flashes. I don’t think I even knew this existed — have any of you got it? Advice on it?[/quote]
