Testosterone can convert to estradiol via aromatase, however there's no metabolic pathway in the other direction.
For estradiol pills, patches, and gel are your options if you can't do needles.
Pills aren't recommended for over 45s or those with a history of blood clots, due to increased risk of blood clots.

Guanfacine handled the task initiation for me, but not the distraction.
