Hello TheScrungler,
I think you're right about your bloodwork.
As far as switching to injections, for me, it wasn't until I switched to injections that I started to get more noticeable results (compared to when I was on oral E). I agree that injections are regarded as the gold standard for HRT.
Could you specify more on your doctor's reluctance to prescribing injections? (in regards to "not adding a meaningful benefit for the cost"). Is she referring to the monetary cost or something else?
What options would you have for injections? Estradiol Valerate? I'm currently on estradiol cypionate and I do injections weekly (originally I started with biweekly).
