I GOT MY HRT APPOINTMENT! It’s not until mid next year though. I’m so excited. Now i just have to decide on oestrogen delivery methods. I am thinking gel, because i suck at needles, more so doing it myself. But i have a cat i love to pick up, so I would need to use gloves.
What methods do y’all use for oestrogen delivery?
Yay, congratulations! I’d have gotten impatient and started DIY if I had to wait that long…
I started with gel (massive PITA to apply but works well), did injections for a while (kind of a bother even once a week, and hormone levels going up and down isn’t very nice), and now on patches (awesome, no complaints). Probably only implants would be better.
Unless your cat is constantly licking wherever you applied the gel, you don’t need to worry. You can wash your hands after applying!
Thank you. I have considered pellets and I’ll probably move to that once I’ve been on oestrogen for a while. In case (the very unlikely chance) that I don’t like oestrogen. Hard to take pellets out once they’re in.
