I'd totally agree about the shots being better. However if you're starting out you really want to get some baseline blood work done, and then get tested regularly. After 3-4 shots (or 21-40 days) you start doing damage to your body, so I'd recommend that initially you go with pills, patches or gel as the time to remove the excess estrogen from your body is much lower.
One of the really good things about doing shots compared to other deliveries is that it makes you feel good and even. I had spikes before and found that on my scrip of patches and gel that I would get skin irritation, but also that taking the E gel was like a bit of a drug, with it's associated high. I take one shot (10mg/1ml) per week to 10 days.
Anyway like Sarah said we are pretty much on the same program except being European I can have Androcur (cyproterone acetate) instead.
One thing she did leave out although we have both run out of it is the Domperidone (Vomistop at ADC) which induces prolactin, usually between 20-30mg per day depending. However if you exercise a lot then you get the formation of prolactin that way too.
