The pill tastes terrible, so I prefer the shots
edit: and you have to let it dissolve in your mouth for a long time, like it can be in there for a few hours, so that makes it worse lol

The pill is more invasive to your liver,
so my endo recommended injections instead.
Plus what caleb said.

Well both have their ups and downs.
Oral means passing through the liver, plus they have to be taken multiple times daily whilst Injections though only weekly or so don't have a very stable and level hormone flow. Plus needles which may or may not bother u (they bother me though lol)
Pick which ever one you feel works best for u hun x
