Not every appointment ends in a prescription, and that is deliberate. The point of the first half hour is to work out what is actually happening, whether hormone therapy suits you, and what to do if it does not.
Send a message
Tell us roughly when your periods changed, which symptoms are worst and anything you have already tried. A clinician reads what you send before anyone calls you back.
What happens
Phone or form. Say whether you would prefer to come in or use video, and roughly what is going on.
Before anyone calls back. If something in your history needs clarifying, that happens before the appointment rather than during it.
Half an hour on symptoms, cycle history, contraindications and options. You get the reasoning, not just the conclusion.
A prescription where hormone therapy suits you, or a plan for what else helps where it does not.
Common questions
What to bring, how long it takes, and what you leave with.
Patient reviews
I had been waking three or four times a night for two years and had been told it was just stress. The consultation actually went through my cycle history. Six weeks on a patch and I am sleeping through.
What I wanted was someone who would talk about the risks honestly rather than sell me something. They walked through the clot data and why a patch suited me better than tablets.
The brain fog was the part nobody warned me about. Having a clinician tell me it was a recognized symptom and not early dementia was worth the appointment on its own.
It took two dose changes before things settled, which they had told me upfront might happen. The three-month review was booked before I left the first appointment.
