My oncologist, who I thought didn’t like me, suddenly turned into a badass and got the ball rolling last Friday, and the doctor at Planned Parenthood called today to say it was prescribed and sent to my pharmacy. I basically rushed to the pharmacy while trying to pretend I wasn’t. I was in such a rush I didn’t even look and forgot to get consulted by a pharmacist when I got home.

That’s when I got the disappointing news. Even though I got 6 months of spironolactone the estradiol patches were missing. Turns out they were on hold because they are on as the rep set “on national backorder.” This was at a chain pharmacy in a grocery store. So I am trying to find out how to get that transferred to another pharmacy (my usual pharmacy, which is more finnicky about prescriptions, but worth a shot) and seeing if it’s not on backorder anywhere else. Part of me hopes it is so I can argue she needs to dispense with the patches and give me the injections lol.

Anyone else hear about ESTRADIOL 0.1MG/24 DIS being on backorder this badly?
