Is it possible for somebody to achieve testosterone suppression through sublingual Estradiol tablets? I know that in theory you should be able to just take several tablets a day but I was wondering if anybody else had chosen this route?

    I was able to do it. Since sublingual has a fast half life you’ll need to spread the doses throughout the day as many times as you can. For me the bare minimum was 1mg every six hours for a total of 4mg each day though my body is pretty sensitive to estradiol overall. (The last pill I’d take directly before bed so I’d be sleeping more than 6 hours)

    I do think it helps to start off slow and ramp things up over time so that your body adapts but that is anecdotal on my end and mostly theory on the research side. Also if you’re able to get injections or tolerate an androgen suppressor it’s much easier than doing sublingual 4 times a day
