Chapters

Only estrogen and testosterone come in pellet form. Progesterone does not. So you still want to take a progesterone capsule at bedtime. If you're getting an estrogen pellet or a testosterone pellet, I would say start with an estrogen patch or estrogen cream. Testosterone cream. Something to see how you tolerate these hormones and what kind of dose do you need at this time, and then we can try a pellet and see how you do.
