Yeah, that's what I gathered about Provera as well, that it doesn't block DHT....but every progestin I've looked has has some sort of AA action even if it doesn't block DHT. There must be something more to it.
Also, just so you know, they make Estradiol pills much stronger than a sublingual does would need to be since 75% or so is nuetralized on the first pass through the liver, which, if swallowed, is where it goes to before the bloodstream.
Sublingually puts it directly into the bloodstream, so a much smaller dose is recommended. I've read that .5 mg or so is the most you should do sublingually at a time. Of course, feel free to do more than that, but be on the lookout for shortness of breath, leg pains, or signs of poor circulation. If they appear, then drop the dose down. If not, then go for it! Just be aware that sublingual is roughly 3 times more potent a delivery method and that amount hits your system much faster.
Don't want you getting a blood clot.
