The problem with pellets is that they can release the hormones at uneven rates as they dissolve because they aren’t perfectly homogeneous. There’s also a chance that your body rejects it and forms a fibrous capsule around it that prevents it from releasing the hormones at all.
It’s really hard to pin down because of inconsistencies between manufacturers. I’ve had patients that got pellets and had no effects whatsoever, and some that got way too much because it dissolved too quickly. It also kind of matters who is implanting them and if they know what they’re doing. (Pro tip, chiropractors and naturopaths do not know what the fuck they are doing.)

Interesting, TIL, didn’t know that. How common is it?
