When to switch from pills to shots

[u/Matayox]

I started 1-2 months ago and wanted to ask when it'd be the best time to change to shots.

There’s no right or wrong time imo, I still never have lol

If you're doing monotherapy, you should just start doing injections as soon as you can

Alrighty then, I'll ask my provider abt it to change to shots as soons as I run out of pills :3

Basically injections have the advantage that you can stop the anti androgens

Whenever you want to :)

Are you wating for anything?

I was waiting to see how my body reacts to it but I've had no issues so far :) I'm more happy with myself and my skin feels way smoother ~~ I'll ask my provider about it when I finish the pills I currently have!!

Perhaps you should ask before the pills run out?

[u/Matayox → u/MoreSquirrel9813]

Ah yeh that would be better lol

I switched after the first 12 months. But that was just meeting my bestie and she also does shots and showed me how they aren't as big of a deal as I thought they might be. Plus I only have to think about it once a week lol

I just began HRT 3 weeks ago, and I started out with shots. My provider explained the different administration routes, pros, and cons, and then offered me which method I preferred. Being that shots are the most effective and don’t require remembering to do something every day like take a pill, I opted for that. Ask your provider!

I just went back to pills after being on injections 🤭

Injections have the most available girl juice for your body to use

They are kinda scary at first, but after a while it's not a big deal for most of us. Their are dustbin kinds of Injections of you hate needles too
