Probably another good reason to go to a compounding pharmacy.  That....and  I pay 35 percent of what wallyworld charged me for my E.

Full price at the local pharmacy is $80 for a vial that lasts me about 8 months (I'm lucky in that I only about 1/4 the normal dose to achieve an E level in the low 200s).

In fact I'm only paying $10 per vial with insurance but I'd be fine at $10/month, the difference isn't worth going to a compounding lab to me. The scale and cleanliness levels and manufacture controls possible in a modern pharma packaging line are well worth it in peace of mind. It would also be rationale for the longer shelf life. I've worked with these systems and trust them.

Sadie has a point about Compounding Pharmacies. It would behoove anyone that uses one to go to:

and establish that whomever they may use, is in compliance of the sanitation guidelines as well as numerous other areas of concern. It is ultimately our responsibility to take care of our precious health. No one but us has the vested interest in our bodies that we do.

Jessica - Is that 20 mg/ml?

Yes that was for the 20mg/mL vial.

Picked up mine this morning, it is from the new batch

Progynova is also widely available in Australia and on the PBS Scheme, making it very price effective. This what I take

Generic Estradiol Valerate is available in 20mg/ml vials in my area (Midwest US).  It's not the branded "Delestrogen" company but rather a generic.  I don't have pricing, sorry.

Yes, delestrogen is made by Par pharma and they're not back into production.

AFAIK the only other FDA approved source is Perrigo and the last I knew they were only shipping 40mg/ml, good to know that 20 is also being produced.

Current status is its limited availability, I don't know how  that shortfall compares to demand.

I was fortunate enough to have my local pharmacy fill my prescription about a month ago, but the delay caused me to go back on orals for about a month.  I use a compounding pharmacy out of Portland, my doctor recommended. 

I am really hoping that it gets back into regular production soon.  This along with all those stoopid bathroom bills have made this last year the most frustrating.

You should be able to get EV generic now.  CVS and Cosco both can get it.  I didn't check others since CVS is where my plan is accepted.

It's still impossible to find in my area so I've given up for now. Starting EC tomorrow morning when I have my first injection at the doctors office. Hopefully I see nice results with every other week EC injections over 3x daily sublingual pills. At the very least I'll be able to sleep and no nighttime insomnia due to the nighttime dose. Maybe by the summer EV will have reliable stock here.
