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?

    Congrats on your HRT appointment! That’s super exciting!

    As for how I take my estrogen, I used to take pills sublingually for several years. But about two years ago, I switched over to DIY injections. I mostly switched methods because I’ve heard that injections are much more effective, and they’re a lot cheaper than pills.

    I’m taking estradiol undecylate subcutaneously. I only have to inject once a month, which is pretty nice. It was kinda scary teaching myself how to inject, but now that I’ve done it many times, it’s not too bad. I just wish I would’ve started injections much earlier.
