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’m curious about needles. I don’t think I’m squeamish, but does stabbing your skin for years on end have any bad side effects?
You should rotate where you inject. I switch thigh each time and try to not hit the exact same spot. Injecting into the same area too often can lead to scar tissue buildup which makes that part of the skin hard and therefore hard to penetrate with a needle.
I did this as well for spray in the beginning. Had that after administering, it sometimes felt for a few min as if someone was grasping my arm tight. So I rotated and after a week it no longef happened, then I tried going back to administering it on one arm only, and that worked well.
Not really, consider that some people regularly inject their skin for blood donation or checkups, and it goes fine. What WillStealYourUsername said is true, though.
