I think you'll find the patches only introduce trace amounts into the body. Almost a mcg (microgram), vs a mg (milligram). The reasoning for this is woman sometimes need just a trace of estrogen, vs a MTF, who needs a bolus amount. If you were a female going thru menopause, the patches would work great to level the hormones out. Since so many of the female organs produce estrogen naturally, some even just trace amounts. But for what we're doing, we need a BIG LONG sustained shots of estrogen. I considered patches when starting, and I discarded the idea, since it didn't give me enough of estrogen, strength or duration.

Me, I would be covered in patches lol, there's a body in there somewhere.

Estrogen=The mother of female hormones
Estrodial= the weaker lil sis of mother (approx 1/8th as strong as mother)

Hope this helps
