Things ended out getting worse at home, I’m going to be kicked out sometime in the next few months. I’m having some trouble finding housing and a job for when that happens though since it’s mid-school year and not a lot’s available, especially for my budget.
But I have my HRT and it’s made me feel a lot better. 2mg E and 50 mg Spiro. I’m taking the E sublingually but I feel like I keep messing it up when I do? I salivate too much and have to swallow but I feel like swallowing will somehow fuck me over in the long run so I end out with this uncomfortable middle ground of way too much saliva in my mouth before I swallow it anyways. Is there any particular way to fix this or is it just completely normal?
Overall for the effects I’ve mostly just noticed my head feeling clearer, as well as the libido plummeting already. Both are nice though.
Oh and my E is purple. That was genuinely really exciting for me for some reason.
I’m not sure I’ve had that issue with sublingual E but I know people who just don’t take it sublingually and just swallow the tablets and they are fine on E so I think your method with swallowing down the saliva is fine. I wish you the best of luck with finding housing and a job <3
Are there any friends who you might be able to crash with if things come to the worst? That might be what you have to do
Estrogens all have a very strong first pass metabolism when taken orally. The liver breaks down most of the stuff, which not only reduces efficiency and is a strain on the liver, but also increases risk of blood clots (most of the panic about HRT risks comes from this). This is why sublingual is a good deal safer and more efficient and why other routes like transdermal or injections are generally preferrable, but oral is ok if you regularly get bloodwork done and don’t have other blood clot risks (age, smoking, weight etc.)

Yeah I have friends that I’ve been discussing this with who I’d be able to stay with we just aren’t sure how long-term of a solution that would be. So I’m treating it as a temporary stop gap in case I get kicked out before whatever apartment I find accepts me in.
Awesome!
