I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I'm taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I'm curious what your thoughts about the differences are and if it's just about convenience, as the injections are only once a week, or are there any other benefits one way or the other.

I used to be on patches (until they became hard to get), not pills, so I can't really compare, but I have observed that since I started injectable E, the effectiveness has increased noticeably.

That said, at least here in Queensland, the availability of prescriptions for injectable esters other than valerate here is next to impossible, and even then convincing your doctor to prescribe valerate is really hard.
