just seems like a downgrade compared to injection monotherapy

    it’s not any better when it comes to results as long as your levels are the same, it’s all estradiol. it’s just very convenient to only inject once a month, and this is completely in my head but it somehow feels more right to have a monthly hormonal cycle of sorts. it’s also more convenient in case you are in a situation where you can’t do injections often, like maybe you live with people you are closeted to or in a shelter. the downside is that it’s more expensive, and takes many months for your levels to stabilize so you can get blood tests and adjust your dose.
