Title: The Uruguay Dilemma
Post by: Shirley Dover on July 04, 2015, 03:47:25 PM
Well I'm from Uruguay, a small country in South America. All I've heard when it comes to HRT is pills, pills, pills.
Can anyone help me in my search for injections? I know Argentina might have them, and Brazil definitely have them -- but how exactly does it all work?

If you know, please message  :D

~thanks!

Go to a doctor for a prescription and supervision.
There is estradiol valerate. One form of hrt with injections or implants drives the levels of e well into the female range, sufficiently to drive t down into the female range without further anti androgen. You might talk with your doc about adding bioidentical progesterone (not synthetic ones), many say it helps with breast development, has some antiandrogen effects, might help with mood and counter some side effects of estro.
Just talk it all through with your doc.
