Default Estirol - Hormones

I'm brand new to this site, and was wondering if you could message me in regards to so guidance on where to begin on trying to find a Dr that will possibly perscribe Estirol for me. Both tmy Neuro and OBgyn "are not comfortable" dispite me going from hardly beign able to walk, to becoming completely "normal" during pregnancy. Humph?

Thanks!

Any compounding pharmacy can order estriol by the gram and compound it into 8 mg capsules.

I'm afraid I have no clue whatsoever about the birth control thing. Sorry.

My insurance pays 1/2 of the cost of $120 for 90 capsules. That'd be $40/month out of pocket, not too steep.

It is recommended that you take a progesterone in conjunction with estriol. Unopposed estrogens stimulate uterine and breast tissue growth (not in a good way ). My prescription for 3 months worth of Provera cost $3.50 after insurance, but I think the total amount was about $10.
