I am doing great just got chipped again this is my 7th time and I only went 3 1/2 months this time got 112.5 test. And 75 Estro. The site gets kinda of tender and you have to take showers can't soak in tub for 3 days. But I like doing it one time no pills or cream plus suppose to be safer since doesnt go through liver. But I can not find anything on Internet about the safety of it? So that's always in the back of my mind. Thanks and I hope this helps you :)

Hi there I am 38 and at the age of 23 I have a complete Hysterectomy. I had been on hormones up until this past Monday April 12, 2010. I had my first set of pellets and trust me I was scared, because of the unknown. But I had to try something because a few weeks back I hit rock bottom and had never experienced anything like I that. I was a mess!.. So I came across the Sottopelle and became interested. Again I just had my first injection and hope to see a change. And... the results to my blood work were amazing, because I went to my gyno and begged them to do blood work in March because I felt completely off and they would not, well we women know our body and know if something is wrong. So after asking many questions about the pellets and what if's I went for it and here I reading good and bad and again somewhat still frightened, but I pray it will be fine.
I do not remember what mgs they gave me, but hope it is just enough.. Would you please update me from time to time, I would like to know how someone else handles the pellets. I can tell my hands and feet are a little tight, but they told me to watch the salt intake and drink lots of water, but it is normal.. Good luck to you.. West Chester, Oh

I haven't used Sottopelle therapy either, but I can offer a suggestion for where to find more information. There is a BHRT (bio-identical replacement therapy)Summit that you can view online right now. (go to www.bhrt1.com). One of the topics first discussed last week was on Sottopelle therapy, presented by the doctor that developed it, Dr. Gino Tutera. He has a website at www.sottopelletherapy.com) and he has authored two books on the subject. I wrote about the summit on my blog (http://www.menopausetheblog.com/2008/11/07/attend-the-bhrt-world-congress-from-home/).

I haven't used SottoPelle, but I'll be very interested in what people think about it who have tried it.
Like you, Barbara, I'm 50 and have been in menopause for two years. But looking back now, I can see that I was in pre-menopause for about five or seven years before that, and it made me crazy! The symptoms are so innocuous that you really don't string them all together for a long, long time to figure out what's going on.
It's almost like researching menopause could be a woman's fulltime job. To know what's going on with your body, and why, and then to figure out what to do about it -- HRT or not? Natural remedies or not? How to change exercise, or not? and so on -- offer so many possibilities that it makes your head spin.
I have found Dr. Christiane Northrup's book, The Wisdom of Menopause, to be a wonderful help and reference. It's a large, well-written, informative book that is indexed and thorough. It talks about how our bodies don't need the reproductive functions anymore, and goes through the business of shutting them down in order to devote that energy to our brain, and our wisdom. It's very cool. Here's a link if you'd like to check it out:
