Orally ingested estrogen is harder on the liver than the injection

Not just any estrogen. Non bio-identical estrogens such as ethinyl estradiol and conjugated equine estrogens because the body can't recognize them and has a harder time eliminating them. Unfortunately, all estrogens tend to be bundled up together and a distinction is not made so patients are misinformed due to misinformed doctors. There has not been one single study showing 17 beta estradiol to cause liver problems and clotting risks are much less common with the bio-identical form.
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

Good to know ^.^ Injections do bypass the liver though, and given that I have a history of somewhat heavy drug use I would prefer to give that organ a bit more of a break than other people might.
