Vaylen

Ranked #7 · Grade B+

What we like

  • Offers an oral/sublingual route as well as injections — real choice for the needle-averse
  • FDA-approved brand access plus compounded on both molecules
  • LegitScript-accredited and available in all 50 states

The caveats

  • Mid-tier pricing rather than the cheapest tiers
  • Broad program rather than a dedicated PCOS/hormone clinic

Effecty

Ranked #6 · Grade B+

What we like

  • FDA-approved brand access plus compounded, both molecules
  • LegitScript-accredited — a meaningful oversight signal when hormones are involved
  • Nationwide across all 50 states

The caveats

  • No oral/sublingual form
  • Not a hormone-specialty program; PCOS framing is general
