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?

ah. thanks. That helps a lot. I think I'll go with gel. I doubt I could inject myself, and there are a lot of dangerous taking oestrogen orally, so gel seems like the way to go.
