I'm just starting BHRT with my new functional physician. So far, she has just ordered the estrogen patch and 50mg progesterone capsules. I like the patch, just leave it on for a week. I haven't tried the progesterone. I want to get used to the estrogen first. Also, I don't have a uterus so not sure I need it. How long do the pellets last?

I had a hysterectomy years ago and was only on an estrogen patch. The doctor said I didn't need progesterone. If I remember correctly, studies at the time only showed a potential increase in breast cancer cases for women on the estrogen/progesterone combination, not estrogen replacement alone. I was on the lowest patch strength possible, .025 and felt great.

The pellets last 12 weeks. Testosterone?
