[Outofstyle]

Yes after thinking I would do topical, I did some reading on the internet (not just on the forums) and read somewhere that by taking it orally, your body converts one of the components into something else and this is not done by applying it topically. After reading that I have decided to take mine orally, but I did an online hormone test to make sure that I am estrogen deficient as i suspected, which I do appear to be, so I don't think taking it orally will harm me and only benefit me.

Here is the hormone test/checklist I went by. It just has a checklist for progesterone deficiency or hormone deficiency. You may have some from both as some symptoms are similar but for me I definitely had many more checked off for hormone deficiency
