    I haven’t, this’ll be my first. Since injections aren’t really available here, my doctor recommended an implant to reduce the cardiovascular risks associated with oral estradiol. I also like the idea of them because it kinda feels like my body is just naturally producing it.

      I didn’t realize there are cardiovascular risks associated with oral estradiol. I take oral estradiol to not get the monthly. Guess I got a triple dose of cardiovascular risks with that, ADHD meds, and testosterone 😅

      I agree with it feeling like your body is naturally producing it. It’s also a lot less everyday hassle. I hope that in a couple of years it’ll get cheaper and less painful.
