Title: Sublingual Estrace
Post by: Jessica-Louise on July 01, 2014, 12:51:26 AM
Okay, so I've noticed that a lot of people take Estrace sublingually to increase the efficacy and reduce liver damage. I'm tempted to start doing the same but I have a couple of questions and I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me out please.

1: I have little round greenish blue 2 mg Estrace pills with MJ 756 imprinted on them. Do these kind work sublingually?

2: I'm due to see my endo again in August and I was hoping to be prescribed a higher dose. If I start taking Estrace sublingually rather than orally is that going to give them the impression that I'm super responsive to low dose estrogen and mean I'll get prescribed less? But would that even matter if? I'm tempted to wait until I'm on a 'full' dose of oral E and then once I've adjusted to that start to take it sublingually but then could that be too much E?

I'd just ask my endo but mid-August feels a long way off when I could be taking the E in a way that's potentially safer and more effective. Also, my endo originally had me on premarin but I asked to switch to Estrace and although she agreed she said she'd never prescribed that before so I have a feeling she won't have the experience to answer my questions.
