Just had my 1st Estrogen implant "installed".
Now I hate needles... but Dr Hayes was pretty fantastic. My wife came along for the support!
The experience was great, it was put into my left upper buttock. Ive got a bit of a dull ache now approx 3hrs later.
No more estrogen tablets 3 times per day. Happy days!
I always get euphoria a few days afterwards. Something to look forward to.
Congrats. That spot will be a little tender for a few days but shouldn't be a problem.
Good for you. I'm trying to finally get an implant from a new doc, it's sure a pain in the bull with all these pills & patches, yuck.
Jab, cut, push, sticker, and bandaid!
No more pills, gotta love it!
And the smaller implants seem to agree with people better.
I sure want to move to an implant soon. I tried Climara patches again yesterday, my skin gets so red so quick from those things, yuck.
Hello to all, I live in Warren, MICHIGAN. Does anyone know where to find a dr. That'll prescribe estrogen implants here in the states. I'd hate to have to travel far to get them. Thanks in advance.
I might be getting that later this year. Is it painful and are there stitches? It makes me a little queezy...

Dr Hayes does an anesthetic injection first, after which the implant is totally painless. I find the anesthetic itself stings quite a lot, but others say it doesn't. Dr Hayes current implants are quite small and heal relatively quickly. Some discomfort for a few days, and I can notice for a week or so (maybe 2 , I forget). He used to use larger implants that needed a stitch and took a bit longer to heal. Still totally worth it though.
I have a bit of a phobia with injections and I have no issues at all with implants. I love them.

Will see how I go. If my bloods show my liver isn't doing as well taking the HRT orally I'll definitely look into the implant. Thanks. :)

If you have the option to get an implant I'd strongly recommend doing it.

It's a higher and more consistent delivery of Estrogen, definitely a good reason to try it out. I've found my moods are much better too!
