The brand of Estradiol patch I use is Mylan; Kroger fills it. Both of my obgyns have been happy to prescribe it.

I prefer a compounded Estradiol vaginal cream over the commercial one. It's gentler on my skin. My first NP prescribed it. My second took over calling it in.

For vaginal Estradiol suppositories, I've used Vagifem 10mcg tablets and Imvexxy 10mcg pearls. I'm post-op total hysterectomy right now, so I'm not sure which I'll return to. If you have already ample moisture, Vagifem can be enough. If not, then Imvexxy might absorb better. My urologist is actually the one who started me on this as my first vaginal estrogen because I was getting UTIs.

For oral Progesterone/Prometrium, I like the micronized pearls that all the major pharmacies fill. Compounding pharmacies will make in-between/any dosages in capsules in extended release form.

I hope this helps.
