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?

You go for whichever is the most comfortable/convenient as the differences are so small. Subcutaneous uses a smaller needle so I went with that as it was less scary to me, but some can get allergic reactions on their skin from the injections which intramuscular avoids because it's a deeper injection.
