Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello everyone, I'm new and I have just started taking hormones. My question is how do I take my estrogen sublingually? When I place the pill under my tongue for about 10 minutes, there is still a blue substance from the pill under my tongue, but it's all liquid, so do I have to wait until I see nothing at all or has the estrogen been absorbed already?

I usually just swallowed it after a few minutes. Some residue left is normal. And inevitably some estrogen will be swallowed too.

It's not something to worry about I don't think anyone has the data on how much winds up swallowed vs absorbed sublingualy. My personal rule is to not rinse and spit for thirty minutes. I'd rather not waste a portion that way, after years of HT sublingual it's fine on levels and such.

Thanks!

I like to put it between my cheek and gum... Works just as well there and much easier to talk, and even have a drink ect ;)

Is this Progynova? The sugar in it will cause cavities on your teeth, don't do it.

It's Estrace, it doesn't say that on the bottle but it says TEVA, which is a pharmaceutical company, and I read that the only estradiol that TEVA makes is estrace.

I also take my HRT sublingually - I let it dissolve under my tongue and then drink a glass of water or juice
