I hate injections and the idea of the ups and downs is not something I want.

I hated injections because of my strong fear of needles. Now, I am over it and so happy I have overcome that fear because I feel so much better on injections.

Since I inject frequently enough, every 5 days, no ups and downs that bother me although I personally think some fluctuation could prove useful to keep cells sensitized to estrogen. Levels that are too stable could perhaps desensitize cells and besides, that's how the body works naturally, there are fluctuations.

QuoteAlso, pills are dirt cheap.

True. I paid nothing for pills whereas now, it's somewhat costly. But, soooooo worth it, for me! :) Will never EVER go back to pills.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
