In Modern Medicin, What Is The Healthiest Form Of E?

[Guest Sherry7620]

Patches, creams, or something else?

[Guest Leah1026]

The safest is any method that only goes through the liver once:

Patches (pricey)

Implants (very pricey)

Injectables (cheap from a compounding pharmacy)

pills go through the liver twice.

Another helpful thing would be a method that is bio-identical (exactly like what the body makes naturally). This as opposed to conjugated estrogens like Premarin which is made from the urine of pregnant mares (hence the name: PreMarIn).

One more note: If you do injectables be sure to have a nurse instruct you on how to inject.

Oops! Forgot gels. Gels go through the liver once, but they are also messy and take time to absorb.

The common starter seemst to be Estradiol for the first 6 months to a year and then other options after that, unless they figure your are high risk for complictions then they start you on the others. However close monitoring of the liver enzymes is critical

Again, these are questions for your doctor. We cannot realistically advise on hormone therapies for you.

Sherry, given that you've been on doctor supervised HRT for 8 years, has there not

been opportunities for you to ask you doctor these questions? I'm very surprised that

you are confused about this after all this time.

Ummmm yes, Sherry. You need to sit down with your doctor for a long long talk. Your posts have several inconsistancies in them so I'm beginning to wonder if you are being completely truthful with us. Be honest with us, Sherry. We're not here to judge you. We only want to help but we can't if your stories are going all over the place.

I don't know where you all are getting your cheep injections at, but the compounding pharmacy near me wanted 300 bucks for a 4 months supply. At that price, I chose to keep damaging my liver.... at least the pills are only like 10 bucks a month.

[Guest Kayliegh]

If you are "older", the injections are the safest method.

Being "older", that is the route I will be taking (in January!)

I've beeb on Dr prescibed injectables for 8yrs. I have no desire to change since they've easy on the liver & dirt cheap from my compounding pharm. I was just interested in other's opinions.

[Guest Charlene_Leona]

For someone who has supposedly been on these medicines for years you should know more than most members here do. I have only been on HRT for a little over three years and I know allot but due to board rules we do not generally discuss or enter into the doctor's realm of responsibility.

All you girls who have been on HRT for years makes me feel like such a noobie transgirl. I will have been on HRT for 1 year as of Dec 17th.

I suspect you may be safe in your response for now, but please remeber there are many things we cannot discuss.

If someone who is 13 & sits in a house of privalage asked what to do, the answer is clear, therepy. If someone else who is also 13 & feeds themselves through prostitution & doesn't have access to therapy, well that's just too messy to discuss. The rules are very clear after all.

The rules certainly are clear, Sherry, but your reply to Ashley was anything but, and didn't appear to make sense given her comment. Your response above

is no clearer and completely unrelated to anything anyone has said.

You are welcome to PM me if you would like to clarify it.

My respons to Ashey was in jest, not at her, but at us. I do not understand all these rules. I fully respect the admin to run this site in anyway they choose. I'm asking more directly, are the rules based on legal restictions or something else? Look at the responses/posts, 70% mods. I do not understand the sterilaty.

Sherry:

Discussion of pharmaceutical hormones is allowed as long as dosages are not discussed. Ashley's response was fine
