FWIW, I've just now learned that when taking your hormones this way you should be p utting the pill between your cheek and your gums, not under your tongue. You want it to disolve where there's the least amount of saliva, so that the bulk of the hormones are absorbed via the capilaries in your mouth. Saliva will get swallowed and end up in your gut, so whatever is trapped in the saliva will go with it. Doing it this way does take longer, FYI.
