I GOT MY HRT APPOINTMENT! It’s not until mid next year though. I’m so excited. Now i just have to decide on oestrogen delivery methods. I am thinking gel, because i suck at needles, more so doing it myself. But i have a cat i love to pick up, so I would need to use gloves.
What methods do y’all use for oestrogen delivery?
I use injections and I love the freedom! It’s nice to not have to think about my hormones several times per day
How often do you have to inject?
Also, what’s best? IM or subcutaneous? What do you do?
You go for whichever is the most comfortable/convenient as the differences are so small. Subcutaneous uses a smaller needle so I went with that as it was less scary to me, but some can get allergic reactions on their skin from the injections which intramuscular avoids because it’s a deeper injection.
It depends. Doctors typically prescribe estradiol valerate which should be injected every five days. I use estradiol enanthate which is injected every 7 days.
