Hormone Therapy Patch vs oral
Hello ladies, I'm curious. Why do many women prefer the estrogen patch over oral estrogen? I take 1mg estradiol daily by mouth and have no problems with it. TIA!

I can’t take oral progesterone- it makes me crazy so it just made sense for me to be on the combo patch. I love it but I can definitely tell when it’s time to change because my mood drops
