I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I'm taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I'm curious what your thoughts about the differences are and if it's just about convenience, as the injections are only once a week, or are there any other benefits one way or the other.

Testosterone can convert to estradiol via aromatase, however there's no metabolic pathway in the other direction.
