Spain removed htr?

Vent

Ok so, I'm going to vent like a baby but this is getting a LOT annoying and I want to know if this has happened to someone else.

Why the fuck did Spanish social security stop producing estrogen??? MID SUMMER?? When I came back from vacation on early August I discovered the estradiol pills I take had been discontinued (because pharmacy and shit) but they haven't produced any variant or anything that has that ID, so I had to wait 4 whole days, without medication, (T blockers are still good, this is only about the estrogen part), delaying my period.

But it's ok, shit happens ig, I don't know more transfem IRL so I can't ask them if the same happened to them, but aside for this being annoying (bc they didn't explained to me that it was discontinued at first, it simply didn't appear on their web) it was ok. I went to my head doctor and got it fixed eventually. It hurt a lot having it go from >1€ per week to +32€ per week, but I could bear with it until my checkup in November.

But then TWO WEEKS LATER (I had it fixed 24th August, this happened the 8th September), I go to the pharmacy again to buy 32€ of estrogen as I expected, only for them to tell me that the change was reversed or some shit, so I got receipted with the estrogen that doesn't get done anymore and removed the substitute, SO I HAVE TO DO ALL THAT CALLING AND APPOINTING AGAIN, TWO WEEKS. Wtf did that happened? I'm so pissed of and crying because I feel so useless and powerless tbh. My mom got scared bc she thinks it was bc of the elections, but I calmed her by telling that this was the first time it happened in the 1.5 years I've been on hrt. Now what? Seriously I'll have to wait another 4 days to get it fixed every 2 weeks or what? Anyways I got the appointment just in case but I'm trying to get an emergency date with my hormone doctor, bc this is so dumb seriously.
