...from sublingual Estrace.
After a recent TIA, I discussed with my doctor about changing Estradiol administration modalities.
As most of us are aware, increased risk of thromboembolitic events is a known complication associated with oral estrogen administration for women who are 40 years old and older.
It's worth note that experiencing a TIA can both ruin your entire day and scare you to death. Such was the case with me one day, while I was installing a curtain rod.
So, I did the research and found out that Delestrogen was indeed, on the medical insurance company formulary (in other words, it was covered). I mentioned this to my doctor and he prescribed it.
We both concurred in the greater safety factor involved.
It's certainly a different experience in performing self-injections, but it can be dealt with.
But it seems to have had a marked effect in feminization, lean tissue atrophy and breast growth. This was unexpected; all that I was concerned about was the increased safety factor.
It seems apparent to me that the mode of administration of IM injection is, at least for me, clearly superior.
I did note however that given the high viscosity of the Delestrogen oil vehicle, a 25 or 27 gauge needle is definitely impractical.
