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?

    this study that compares the differences between sublingual monotherapy, and oral estradiol in combination with cyproterone acetate. this is their conclusion.

    Both treatments achieved similar clinical changes. At this stage, (sublingual estradiol), which repeatedly induces alarming excursions of serum estradiol throughout the day, appears to offer no advantage over the cyproterone acetate approach.

    my conclusion from this is that you should only attempt sublingual monotherapy if it is cheaper and/or easier to obtain the larger amount of estradiol you need, than the lower dose of estradiol with some way to block t.
