I was on estrofem for a while before starting injections. It works fine, take it sublingual or buccal, that way you get a lot better absorbtion and partially skip liver metabolism. Estrofem is estradiol hemihydrate if I remember correctly? That type is used in gels too and it acts fast, so the pills will give a lot of ups and downs with levels. I suggest splitting your dose to two or three times a day to keep levels as stable as possible.

Above 4mg is where the dose will start to work well. For me 2mg and 4mg did next to nothing, but upping to 6mg was spot on. Pills can't ever beat injection on stability, but its easy, just let the pill dissolve below your tongue and that's it. Estrofem is also micronised so it absorbs way better. Stuff like Progynova are meant to be taken orally so they're not as good. The reason why you want to absorb as much as possible without liver metabolism is higher concentration of estradiol in your blood, liver metabolism can boost estriol quite a bit and as over all feminising estrogen, it isn't as awesome, but some people get really good breast development when there's enough estriol.

So yea, Estrofem is nice, 2mg is a small dose and isn't likely to give big changes quickly. Split the pill in two and take morning + evening to avoid too much level spiking and crashing.
