"Yes I have the depo but wasn’t allowed it they gave me a different type to do myself I think it’s called alna press you basically inject into a muscle I do it in my stomach " my daughter asked if there was anything else. She suffers with really heavy and painful periods so the depo suited her x they said all she can have is the mini pill | |||

"NHS worker. It's a temp measure. As most places are following government lead guidelines.. Blame bojo. B12 n depo have all changed to tablet form for 3months. Many nurses redeployed from gp practice.. Staff reduce exposure. Most GPS are closed to public thru fall.. Telephone consults only. " its madness, most people getting b12 shots its because they are missing the intrinsic factor to absorb it orally so tablets are pointless | |||

"How strange, I've been allowed to continue the depo injection at my doctor's surgery... Had it only last week. " I think it depends on clinical need. So as someone who works for the nhs has already said on this thread Most people are only being offered telephone appointments but if it is necessary to continue a certain medication or treatment or to be physically seen then that is still happening. | |||

" And I thought (and been told) that the NHS is "open for business". It is truly appalling that very important women's issues are treated so casually. If your face (health issue) fits.......Utterly DISGRACEFUL. " At least abortion pills are available over the phone now seens as women accessing their usual reliable form of contraception seems to have been made difficult | |||

"It’s a temporary measure, but those require the depo injection for reasons other than solely contraceptive - people on HRT or with endo - may still have it after discussions with their prescriber. It’s about minimising contact as much as possible, it’s not just a case of shutting up shop and abandoning people. The Mirena coil, for example, is actually very effective for a year longer than it’s used for generally. In normal times we don’t see “there’s a tiny higher risk so you might want to use condoms as well for a couple of months” as acceptable, but at the moment it is." Its not temporary though. Its already been 9 weeks and it looks like several more yet. Its different in different health authorities too so that just seems very unfair. Its not just contraception that is affected either, I know someone who has very worrying symptoms and been refused a smear test even though she has had abnormal results in the past. I get that the NHS want to limit contact but putting womans health and wellbeing at risk is going to cost a lot more lives, money and resources if left much longer. | |||

And I never mentioned anything any other services The cancer pathways should still be followed so if someone has worrying symptoms they should speak to their GP, clinic or NHS24 for advice on where to turn next. | |||

"I'm waiting to hear about the clinic near me. I have the implant in my arm but it needs removing, all i've been offered is the pill to deal with my issues. However, its creating more issues then solving. Oh and they offered me free condoms if it has ran out " Same for my daughter. They told her that taking an implant out wasn't essential and gave her pills for her symptom. She was much worse I had to phone up and insist, then she got an appointment. | |||

"The selflessness of humanity. Time some of you think about the bigger picture and not just yourselves. Disgusting selfishness. " so if they stopped any other kind of medication would that be selfish? if they stopped vaccinating kids would that be? i can understand reduced services or maybe having to travel further but to remove them completely is disgraceful its also understandable that to begin with resources were redirected, but in scotland we didn't need one single bed in that pop up hospital so it cant be claimed we are still overwhelmed by covid , and its time access to medical services started to return to normal | |||

Totally lacking. My disabled daughter doesnt have it to stop her getting pregnant as she doesnt have sex it's to help manage her periods and the fact that she has very heavy ones. She cant take tablets very well either | |||

"The selflessness of humanity. Time some of you think about the bigger picture and not just yourselves. Disgusting selfishness. " Without hormones to control my periods, I bleed solidly for months at a time and suffer such horrific pain that I can't stand up or walk around or basically function like a normal human being. Yeah, it's really selfish to want to avoid that. | |||

She also has primary progressive MS and when her b12 is low it has a knock on effect in her balance, making her more likely to have a serious fall. Refusing her b12 injection is putting her at risk of having a major fall needing hospital treatment, increasing her risk of catching the virus! | |||

"The selflessness of humanity. Time some of you think about the bigger picture and not just yourselves. Disgusting selfishness. " Wow!!!!! Why is it selfish? It’s stating a medical needs and the NHS are unable to provide that need - not selfish. Very very sad and unmanageable for the people involved. Let’s put more tax on sanitary products too while we are it - help get the economy back on track .... | |||

"I solved all this & got sterilized by tube removal, can't get pregnant & periods are very light. No adverse affects at all I am on the list but everything is delayed now which is understandable " Yes, unfortunately. I think it should be available wider than it is. It can be difficult even if there are medical issues. They like to try base it on how many kids you have. I've got 2, one of each & decade between them. Never got too much of an argument out of them other than suggesting the male got it done instead, my answer was how does that help me if I was no longer with them? Shut them up quick. My mate, same hospital, referee same time period as me, has 1 male child & has cysts (technical name mentioned above endasomethingmis) & had more bother than I did despite having a medical reasons, why? She only had one child. They will try anyway to deter you including that ivf privately would be your only option should you change your mind. I know my mind | |||

"Sorry to hear your problem. I didn't have a problem getting my injection we have been told that it's a national thing... yet obviously it doesnt seem to be x " I fear it's the usual 'mushroom diet' certain members of the N.H.S. just expect us to take their word for it as we're just ignorant members of the public. They forgot they're not perceived as infallible anymore and we can ask other people about things now via all sorts of methods? Well done the sisterhood for supporting the O.p. in her time of difficulty! And may I suggest you try to change practices to find a more sympathetic surgery? There are still some wonderful g.p's out there if you can find one? Good luck and best wishes | |||
