Welcome to Susan's Place. I have moved your thread to HRT (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,42.0.html) where you should get more responses. Injectable estrogen is available however estradiol valerate may still be in short supply. The factory had some production issues and as the result, it's difficult to find. The latest word is that it's now in production and appearing in the stores again. This has been a subject of discussion on this site for a while so you might learn more by looking through the existing threads.

We issue to all new members the following links so you will best be able to use the web site.

I tried the injections for a year or so...only place in Ottawa was an apothecary in the Glebe.
There was a reason explained to me why Shoppers or other drug stores don't carry it.mjust can't recall the reason.

You need a compounding pharmacy. try Fairway Lackner PHARMASAVE or Greenbrook Pharmacy.

There is Smith's Pharmacy in Toronto that compounds injectable estradiol valerate. You could also have a look here.
