Title: question about sublingual estradiol
Post by: KatVonDoom on April 09, 2014, 10:23:12 PM
So I take my pills sublingually, as one could probably gather from the title, and I'm curious about how long the estrogen hangs around in my mouth after that. My boyfriend is an ftm guy, and it suddenly occurred to me that I don't want to get the wrong hormones all up in his system when he kisses me! D:  As long as I wait like, fifteen minutes or so after taking them before mackin' on my man, everything should be aokay, right?

Just drink some water after and it'll be gone, no need to wait. =)

Thanks :) I'm sure if it were that big of a concern, it would definitely be something I'd heard about before, but I tend towards the neurotic so I just had to ask :P

Gonna :) Bought new mouthwash that isn't the natural hippie stuff I took from my old roommate. Was pleasantly reminded that even a decade and a half after getting my lip pierced, getting alcohol on that part of my lip still smarts like the dickens.
