Is it possible for somebody to achieve testosterone suppression through sublingual Estradiol tablets? I know that in theory you should be able to just take several tablets a day but I was wondering if anybody else had chosen this route?

One 0.1 mg patch isn't enough for monotherapy, but you could try multiple patches for monotherapy. What are you estradiol blood levels like with that dose?

I don't like stabbing myself either, but the benefits of injections outweigh those concerns (and I have done a lot to mitigate my needle phobia).

Well my hormones were off before I started and I'm post op now. My T before starting was 375 and my Estrogen total was 250. Now my T is 4 and my ESTRADIOL (E2) is 40

oh interesting, yeah - I am pre-op, so I am relying on monotherapy to suppress my T.
