Is it possible for somebody to achieve testosterone suppression through sublingual Estradiol tablets? I know that in theory you should be able to just take several tablets a day but I was wondering if anybody else had chosen this route?

All at once, I don't want to stab myself, easier to put one on twice a week so I don't forget when lazy/tired. ESTRADIOL 0.1 MG PATCH (2/WK) is what I have.
One 0.1 mg patch isn't enough for monotherapy, but you could try multiple patches for monotherapy. What are you estradiol blood levels like with that dose?
I don't like stabbing myself either, but the benefits of injections outweigh those concerns (and I have done a lot to mitigate my needle phobia).
Well my hormones were off before I started and I'm post op now. My T before starting was 375 and my Estrogen total was 250. Now my T is 4 and my ESTRADIOL (E2) is 40
oh interesting, yeah - I am pre-op, so I am relying on monotherapy to suppress my T.
