I just had these implanted yesterday. I can already tell the estrogen delivery is better than the cream I was using. I had not heard of it until my cousin told me about it several months ago, but it has changed her life. I've struggled with hormonal issues for more than 10 years. Just having an alternative to the always inadequate pills, creams, and patches is encouraging to me. I'm thinking that since they can't find any other reason for my headaches, they may be hormonal. If so, getting the right hormone amounts in a reliably consistent manner might actually fix me.
Are there any Peas on this? Other than my cousin, I don't "know" anyone else. I've done the research myself, but I'd love to hear some personal stories other than the testimonials on the website.

My dh is going to get these for testosterone. The gels, etc. just aren't working.
I hope the Estrogen pellets work for you. You might also need some progesterone for the headaches. I had nasty hormonal migraines when my ovaries were failing, and progesterone was what helped me the most.

Interesting about the progesterone. I've taken progesterone blends ever since my hysterectomy, so this will actually be the first time I'm not getting any. My doctor feels that the progesterone isn't really helpful now that I don't have a uterus. I do have testosterone in my pellets. I'm hoping that helps with low energy, among other things. I most likely won't feel that for another week or two.
I'm just so happy not to have to worry about taking my meds. I was doing the cream 2x/day and I can't tell you how inconvenient it is to apply that in an airport restroom, not to mention that the change in air pressure on flights messed with the dosing apparatus.
