Title: Estrogen Injections or Pills
Post by: TheQuestion on August 05, 2014, 09:59:10 PM
I'm probably only a few weeks away from starting HRT.  So... injections or pills?  I'm sort of leaning more towards injections.  Anyone have any recommendations or experience with both?

I've switched from pills and injection after being on pills for 7 months. I was one of the best decisions I made. Injections definitely seem to make things go faster than pills. I'm now starting to self-inject. (I've done it twice in front of a nurse and now approved to do it on my own.) The injections are on my thigh (alternate between them), not at all painful and easy to do.
