What is HRT and Who Needs It?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores declining estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone levels in women experiencing perimenopause or menopause. The hormonal transition typically begins in the mid-40s and can cause significant quality-of-life symptoms for 5–10 years.
In BC, the public healthcare system has limited capacity for menopause specialist care — wait times for a GP referral to a menopause specialist can exceed 12–18 months. Private HRT clinics in Vancouver offer consultations within days and can initiate therapy within 2–4 weeks.
The 2022 NAMS Hormone Therapy Position Statement confirms that for healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks for most women. Always consult a licensed physician before starting any hormone therapy.
Bioidentical HRT (BHRT)
Hormones chemically identical to those your body produces. Typically compounded to custom doses. Available at most Vancouver private clinics.
Conventional HRT
Standardized synthetic hormones with an extensive evidence base. Some products (estradiol patches, oral progesterone) may be partially covered by BC PharmaCare when prescribed by a GP.
Low-Dose Testosterone for Women
Used to address libido, fatigue, and cognitive symptoms. Available at select Vancouver clinics. Requires careful monitoring to avoid supraphysiologic levels.

How to Start HRT in Vancouver
The process from first consultation to starting therapy typically takes 2–4 weeks at a private Vancouver clinic — compared to 6–18 months through the public system.
Book an initial consultation
No referral required at any clinic listed above. Book directly online or by phone. Bring any recent bloodwork if available. The initial consultation (45–60 minutes) reviews your symptoms, health history, and goals. Expect to pay $150–$350.
Complete a hormone panel
The clinic will order or review bloodwork — typically estradiol, FSH, LH, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid (TSH, free T3/T4), and cortisol. Results take 3–7 business days. Some clinics offer in-house phlebotomy; others use LifeLabs or DynaLIFE.
Review results and receive your prescription
At a follow-up appointment (in-person or virtual), your physician reviews your bloodwork and prescribes your HRT protocol — type (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone), delivery method (pill, patch, gel, cream, pellet), and dose. Compounded prescriptions are filled at a BC compounding pharmacy.
Begin therapy and monitor
Most patients notice symptom improvement within 4–12 weeks. Follow-up bloodwork is typically done at 3 months to confirm levels and adjust dose. Annual reviews are standard. Costs are private-pay; some PharmaCare coverage may apply to conventional HRT medications.
