Compounding Pharmacies in Edmonton for Estradiol Injections?

I'm a trans woman several months into transition and I have been primarily using oral/sublingual pills (currently 6 mg estradiol/200 mg spiro). My levels have been fine enough but I'm interested in switching to injections (ideally estradiol cypionate or enanthate), and my doctor gave me a list of compounding pharmacies I could ring up to ask about prices and availability.

I was recommended Dispensaries LTD, Crestwood Apothecary, Market Drugs, Strathcona Prescription Centre, and Medi-Drugs. I want to know if anyone here has experience with any of these, what it usually costs, any other recommendations, etc.

I think I’m ready to start exploring another side of me

Hey all! I’m 29m? Married in a really conservative relationship and honestly not happy at all in my marriage. But recently… by recently I mean a couple of years now I’ve been questioning my gender and all that I’ve grown up believing. I also work blue collar which is not going to help this whole process. I Haven’t reached out to anyone before about this, but I think im ready to start exploring this a bit. And I’m not really sure what that means.

Was hoping that someone that has gone through this before could lend some advice? A couple years back, I was dating someone that knew more a bout this then I ever have, and had a few trans friends. They called by she/her once, and it felt really good? Right? But I got scared directly after and shut down about anything regarding this. And it’s just kind of dwelled in my mind for a while. I know there’s no formula for this but just looking for some advice and direction, possibly some friends along the way as well. Any help appreciated!
