I don't like needles tho (> _ <)... is it really that noticeable of a difference from sublingual?
I was told sublingual is one of the worst forms of hrt at this point. Basically shots > pills > sublingual
Edit: after doing research, it sounds like sublingual is more potent but also less consistent. Now I'm wondering if I can take my pills sublingually or if it requires a different formulation.
I was doing sublingual for a few years now and found it to be far more effective than taking the pills orally. It has a much higher bioavailability over oral, but can be a bit chaotic with how the estrogen levels spike throughout the day. Overall, at trough, my estradiol was fairly consistent and at good levels, but it was annoying to set alarms to take it so I have recently switched ROA.
