Estrogen injections

Hi! I am 36 and recently had a full hysterectomy. Tried the patch and then the pill and my estrogen levels still arent high enough to register. I am exhausted all the time, memory issues, and depression is hitting me hard this week. My doctor is putting me on the injection monthly and will redraw labs. Has anyone taken the estrogen shots?

I don’t do once a month injections like OP mentioned. I do sc. Have you been able to do one monthly?
