Re: Estrogen/testosterone pellet implants

I have been on estrogen-testosterone implants since 1983. My doctor just recently retired and I cannot find another physician in this area that does these implants. I have been told that these are not FDA approved but my insurance has been paying for them for the last 15 years. Last month I went to a new gyn. who put me on estrotest. This is the first time that I have tried to take pills since 1982. The implants worked very well for me but since I could not find another physician that would do them, I have had to switch to pills. It's too early yet to tell how they are going to work. -----Original Message----- From: Rhonda <anonymous@obgyn.net> To: Multiple recipients of list <anonymous@obgyn.net> Date: Friday, January 08, 1999 5:40 PM Subject: Estrogen/testosterone pellet implants
