I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I’m taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I’m curious what your thoughts about the differences are and if it’s just about convenience, as the injections are only once a week, or are there any other benefits one way or the other.

      Oral (swallowing) bad, the good way to take estradiol pills is sublingual/buccal. Absorbed in the mouth, very little gets to the liver.

      Huh. Surprising that they’re not prescribed more often. I dont know of any trans women in my area who do injections. I asked for them once but was told they pretty well never prescribe them unless you can’t take oral estradiol for some reason.
