I’m looking into starting HRT, but I tend to get unconscious when getting vaccines. Are there ways to take hormones in another way (preferable pills)?

I believe the patch is actually considered the safest way and it also allows continues absorbing which might help show results quicker and with less mood swings.
The pill has been associated with an increased risk of clots I’m not really sure how accurate that is though.
This is correct - clot risk is quite low until you reach 40 or so, so it’s basically down to preference until then. Patches definitely have that lower risk, but lots of people don’t like them or feel anxious checking they’re still on, so pills can be a good option for them.
Important to remember pathways and medications are different all over the world, so what’s available might vary depending on where you live.
