My doctor has been covering my hrt until I can get into the Endocrinologist. I have been having an extremely hard time finding a place that offers estrogen injectables other than a local compounding pharmacy that doesn't accept my insurance (medicaid). The injections came out to around 10$ per ml and I think I can do substantially better.
Any legal legit pharmacies you would recommend? I have been using overseas pharmacies when I have a willing doctor and a prescription just so I can get the estrogen in an affordable format and I am a bit tired of having to deal with the wonky payment systems and the sub-legality. If you have managed to get the injectible at a walmart or a rite aid or any of the chain pharmacies, that may be helpful as well. I just need a good affordable source.
Even a pharmacy that is not much higher than 3-4$ per ml that does bulk orders so I can not pay an arm and leg for shipping would be helpful.

They require a prescription, but do not accept Washington Medicaid.
I don't know what their prices are.
For anyone else reading this they have a list of states they will not ship to due to pharmacist or pharmacy regulatory licensing issues. Some states require the pharmacist filling the order to be licensed in that state, or even the entire pharmacy; to be able to ship to that state.
They ship to all states with the exception of: Arizona, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Nebraska, Louisiana, Maine, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky.

Several woman here go to Wal-Mart.
I go to Walgreen's owned by my PCP. My PCP see's thousands of trans parents. Our IM E is delestrogen 40 mg/ml with 5 ml per vile. I think I paid $60 last purchase.

I go to Walmart but I'm not sure if they stock injectable. I get pills. They should accept any insurance though.

Delestrogen (branded) should still be available but as far as medicaid covering it, that depends on your formulary (the insurance company has). Any retail pharmacy can order it.
