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?

I don’t pretend to know what I’m talking about. I’m sure you’re more clued in than me, so I’ll bow out :)

Main thing to worry about with clots from oral pills is if you smoke! If you don't smoke nicotine then the risk is low like the commenter said above.
