No, Estrogel is very different. It works by smearing 1,25 g of gel (equivalent to 0,75 mg of E) into fatty tissue like the thighs, the E gets absorbed rapidly into the skin and "gets imprisoned" by the fat tissues. Estrogel gives more consistant results as opposed to pills. 1 pump of Estrogel gives levels of about 40-60 pg/ml, and they remain quite steady throughout the day. I would imagine 2 pumps would give close to 100pg/ml. 2mg E pills sublingually will give a huge boost of ~400 pg/ml before falling very fast to ~60 pg/ml in 5 hours. Then by the end of the day, you won't have adequate E levels circulating until your next dose.who told you that estrogel is more feminizing than pills? I heard here that without taking estradiol inside, little can change. the same with local minoxidil and local AA.
Taking 1mg pill every 12 hours is another matter though..
