This made me go down a rabbit hole researching how long a vial of lab-made estradiol valerate can be used, and it looks like the 28 day figure that gets thrown around is total bullshit for home use – as long as it’s stored in a safe, cool, stable area, a vial should last more than long enough to use the whole thing. This research has actually reduced my anxiety about losing access to estrogen during a societal upheaval significantly, because I’ll be able to use my prescription vials to backfill 3-4 vials for every one I use. Thank you so much for sending me down this research path!

Oh yeah, I’ve used the same vial for most of a year. It’ll stay good.
I get 3 bottles and generally only use most of 1 by the time my prescription is due to be refilled. So I’m hoarding like a greedy hog
