How do I take it?
Estradiol can be delivered in the form of a patch, pill, or cream. The patch is most women’s preferred method because of how safe it is and how easy it is to use.

Are there side effects?
In the first few weeks, as your body adjusts to your treatment, it’s normal to experience some side effects like breast soreness, headaches, bloating, spotting, or mood and sleep changes. These are temporary and almost always recede as your body adjusts to the hormones.
