Title: HELP!!! Who took/takes INJECTABLE ESTRADIOL VALERATE here?
Post by: Sad Girl on January 01, 2012, 04:32:37 PM
Did it ever happen to you were borderline to be out of hormones and went almost crazy. Well, this is happening to me right now. Not financial, but another bigger problem.

Ever since I came to Europe, I'm having big difficulty in getting INJECTABLE ESTRADIOL VALERATE here.

I went to an Endo, he prescribed me Ethinylestradiol which makes me feel very dizzy, depressed and and always wanna vomit and very bad taste that stays in my mouth always.

I went to another Endo who could give me something better and he prescribed me Progynova (Estradiol Valerate in pills) but still NOT working.

I have been taking injections of E.V for 3 years now and every time I was late I got a strange and very undesirable weird feeling like my cell membranes in my brain are pulling itself apart and a terrible headache. I'm starting to feel very scared now. I have my prescription of Injectable EV given by my homecountry's doctor but I don't know if I order this by post from U.S, whether they'll allow me to have it here in Europe.

ANYONE HERE WHO TOOK INJECTABLE ESTRADIOL VALELATE AND COULDN'T GET OVER IT AFTERWARDS? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA FOR ME PLEASE? I'M GETTING VERY SCARED AND NOT EVEN ENDOS OF HERE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. The worst, both here prescribed me CYPROTERONACETATE and when I tell them I use to take SPIRO, they say IT'S NOT GOOD AS IT'S ONLY A DIURETIC. I'm going mad, please advise what should I do!

I'm on Oral estradiol valerate, my levels are fine.. I also take cyproterone acetate, which I find has knocked my T levels back quite well - it also has the benefit of blocking both T and DHT.. The only drawback to CA is the need for regular Liver Function tests.

You may find that your body simply needs some time to adjust to the different delivery method..

I use Injectable Estradiol Valerate. I get it from Women International Pharmacy, Madison Wisconsin. You do need a perscription for it. They are great to work with.
