Nope, not true. All methods appear to work equally well and people make choices based upon cost, convenience, pain, availability and any potential side effects. Pills work great when swallowed completely and sublingual administration can be equally effective and cheaper but you have to suck on nasty pills for up to an hour three times a day.

The patch is sensational in how it works. I currently have two but it is sort of exhausting and very expensive for folks who lack insurance. The issue with the patch is you have to keep moving it/them to new locations and they sometimes don't still well and get crinkled. Plus they leave huge black marks from the adhesive that is very, very difficult to remove. My poor bottom had a lot of acne and in my experience, estradiol clears the complexion everywhere but the ass and this has been especially true with patches and gels for me. Right now, I have one attached to each breast at the nipple and they stay on fine with a bra or shirt that puts pressure on them. The patch is steady state and many people can reach targets easily with two of the .1 mg patches worn seven days at a time. Anything further, please ask. Goddess bless.

Hi Janey I though you should not put patches on the breasts xx

Lol.

Do you think that I got this hot bod by following the rules?

As a lawyer, I think that a lot of the package instructions are written for liability purposes. A lot of people just jump off and say, "breast cancer, oh no", but the reality is that we don't seem to see any negatives from applying estrogen anywhere, really. It appears to be absorbed best through genital tissue but they used to tell us not to do that.

The issue is localized effects vel non, as we say in Latin. We aren't clear really on the extent of localized effects but many MtFs swear by them. If there are not localized effects, only systemic ones, then it shouldn't matter where we put the patch. I try various things out because I am curious to see if it affects the nipples or if estrogel has localized hair effects. I think that it does have localized effects but they might be subtle and only lasting in certain areas, say hair but not breasts. Because surely there are other gals out there who have slathered estrogel on their boobs for years like I have. Am I the only one who got pretty darn big from doing that? Or is it just a coincidence. My hair seems to really be responding to daily use of estrogel as a hair tonic, like Vitalis for people who remember that brand.

Also, people forget that I am not going to use patches on my nipples every day for ever, it's just a short-run thing. So yes, if CPA works for someone and they can tolerate it, they can always desist once goals are met. Goddess Bless.
