My estradiol went up in cost by 40% this last refill. 

I hope it is a temporary price increase, although it is rather inexpensive.

It's made in China, India and Europe mainly. Without wanting to get too political, you have your glorious leader to thank for blocking the Straits of Hormuz. Everything is sky rocketing including shipping costs as fuel isn't getting through to China and the east and there's no end in site unfortunately. Even if he pulled out and Iran opened things up today it will take 3-6 months for the shipping to filter through the straits and reach their destinations.

Batten down the hatches for a while I'm afraid.

Because of the timing I think it is likely a way for them to make more money.  But energy costs have been increasing. 

This med has been made far before energy costs have gone up. They are jacking up the price now instead of waiting until costs deserve the full price increase.  They are anticipating the costs to go up so they are raising prices now.

Fuel stations raise their prices faster than they bring them down.  At least prices are still lower now than they were just a year or two ago.  So we should be happy.  However, when prices go up few people who have to buy are happy.  They do not think of two years ago, they think of recent price increases.

Now, will our compensation go up proportionally to keep up with price increases?

We shall see!

Prices will be going up sharply before long. It's likely not currently manufacturing that has been hit yet but the cost of shipping the product anywhere has gone up. If certain chemicals are required for the manufacturing process and they get stuck then that will effect manufacturing. We are starting to see shortages of things like CO2 for example. Fertilizer is another big one. That will directly affect food prices for next years crops, which in turn affects animal feed costs and supermarket prices. The fertilizer issue could lead to food shortages in poorer countries too.

It's all a finally balanced intricate web that depends on free flowing movement of trade through these choke points like the Straits. America is part of a global economy so despite what Trump says you guys will take the hit too though maybe not as hard.

I checked with the pharmacy about why my Estradiol pills went up so much, mentioning that they usually are $12.00.  They said it was a mistake, the price was and is $12.00!  So they fixed it.

The price did not go up!

I have to work the next 3 days.
In my next life I wish to be born rich and not good looking 🤣. Ok, I need good looking as well.

It's harder to love and create than hate and destroy. Love and creation takes more energy. Where hate and destruction can be done with a single word that can haunt you for a life time.
