How much does Winona cost?
Every price Winona publishes, as listed on its own pages:
| Item | Price | Unit | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estrogen tablets | $54 | per month, from | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
| Progesterone capsules | $39 | per month, from | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
| Estrogen body cream (with progesterone) | $89 | per month, from | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
| Estrogen patch | $149 | per month, from | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
| Vaginal estrogen cream | $89 | per month, from | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
| DHEA | $27 | per 3-month supply, from | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
Low = estrogen tablets alone. Women with a uterus usually also need progesterone (+$39 → $93). No separate membership fee found. All prices are 'from'.
First charge, first 90 days and 12-month cost for each Winona plan we could price:
| Provider | Plan | Monthly | First charge | First 90 days | 12-month | Minimum term | Not included / assumptions | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winona | Estrogen tablets (billed every 28 days) | $58.66 | $54 | $216 | $703.93 | 4 weeks | Price is 'from'; dose can change it | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
| Winona | Estrogen tablets + progesterone capsules (every 28 days) | $101.03 | $93 | $372 | $1,212.32 | 4 weeks | Prices are 'from'; dose can change them | Prices checked Oct 7, 2026 · source |
First charge = one-time fees plus the first billing block. First 90 days = cash paid on the provider's billing calendar. 12-month = one-time fees + 12 months of the plan price + scheduled extras (like follow-up labs). "not published" means the provider's own pages don't say; we never fill the gap with a guess. Full math: methodology.

Is Winona legit? What we checked
We read Winona's own pricing, FAQ, terms and policy pages on Oct 7, 2026 and its Trustpilot profile. We did not sign up, take an intake, buy medication or test the service, and we have not yet run public-record checks (FDA warning letters to its pharmacy, OIG exclusions, prescriber license lookups) for this version of the review. Where the provider's own pages disagree with each other, we say so instead of picking one.
