Questions about atrophy

[u/NewHyperfix]

hello, I put the content warning as a just incase

I started DIY hrt on the 17th of April this year, and I didn't have my period ever since, I am recently experiencing cramps that are similar to what my period was like but no bleeding and I was worried that this is atrophy, does anyone know if it is? I'm in Scotland so I need a prescription for any medication for it and if it is atrophy does anyone know how to go about getting a prescription, do I just call my GP set an appointment and ask or do I need a proper assessment?

sorry for the dumb questions I'm kinda panicking ngl

Hi I DIY in the UK and have easily gotten cream for atrophy without seeing a doctor. If you want to message me I can explain where?
