Taking HRT without needles?
I'm looking into starting HRT, but I tend to get unconscious when getting vaccines. Are there ways to take hormones in another way (preferable pills)?

Talking about estrogen. I didn't know it was available in pill form, thank you!
There are also transdermal methods (patches and gel)
@Smorty Also gel absorbed through the skin.

I believe the patch is actually considered the safest way and it also allows continues absorbing which might help show results quicker and with less mood swings.
The pill has been associated with an increased risk of clots I'm not really sure how accurate that is though.
For estradiol pills, patches, and gel are your options if you can't do needles.
Pills aren't recommended for over 45s or those with a history of blood clots, due to increased risk of blood clots.
