So I've been doing a little research and just learned that I can take my form of estradiol sublingually. Of course, I'm not going to do this without first consulting with my endo and as far as I remember, he never mentioned anything about it. I am almost tempted to call his office tomorrow to see if I can find out if I can do this but I do think I'm being a little impatient by even considering this. My dosage is at the starting spectrum but isn't as low as I have seen others'. Even though there have been changes in the period I've been on my meds, I've come across others who have had more changes in the same period of time I've been on them. I know, I know......YMMV!
Anyway, is it even worth it? I know that sublingual administration will bypass your liver, causing less stress on it. I have also read that its effect on your E-level will be higher than taking it normally. However, I have also read that sublingual administration causes the estrogen to disperse in a "burst" fashion (I have read 6 hours on numerous occasions) whereas normal ingestion spreads the estrogen evenly over a longer period (~24 hours). Also, I have come across a couple of instances where the increased E-level briefly impeded some effects of estrogen.
Chances are that I won't even bother calling my endo tomorrow and will continue to take my happy pills normally. I suppose I can wait until June (c'mon!) to see what changes to my dosage will be made but regardless, I am a bit curious.
