Title: Estrogen pellets
Post by: Riley Skye on June 16, 2013, 08:33:12 PM
I've recently heard that one can take get an estrogen pellet implant as a means of administering hormones. Has anyone had experience with these? Would I still have to take my hormone blockers with them and what kind of pricing can I expect with them? So far I've heard its the best and most efficient way to take them and that it gives a much steadier dose than the pills I am taking.

There was another thread awhile back on here about this.

I am looking forward to getting them by the end of the year. More consistent delivery and you don't have to remember a pill all of the time.

We have several members who use hormone implants.  Jennygirl has posted about them.

I know if you are not covered by a prescription plan, they can be very expensive.
