Pills Patches or Shots = MTF

started off with oral E and just switched to injectable doses. Hope to add progesterone soon.

I started on oral pills, but I'm hoping to switch to sublingual pills toward the end of the year.

I have used patches for 7 months now, having been prescribed them for dysphoria.  They have proved to be very effective, producing physical changes that are becoming very hard to cover.

I am not aware that there is a specific pill for sublingual use.

[KayXo]

Pills contain micronized estradiol so all pills can theoretically be taken sublingually and be effective that way as the particles are small enough to transfer from mucosa to blood.

[Dani]

For micronized estradiol to be absorbed sublingual, it really should be an uncoated tablet, so it will dissolve faster and leave little residue.

[KayXo]

I took uncoated tablets sublingually for several years. There was always a significant amount of residue from color, starch and all the other non active excipients in the pill. This is normal.
