Transdermal vs Oral Estrogen - which do you prefer?

Hi all!
I'm currently on 100mcg Estradot, and it's still not enough (still symptomatic with night sweats, insomnia etc). Had previously been on 4 pumps Estrogel with no change in symptoms.

Contemplating next step: clearly my body doesn't absorb estrogen through transdermal very well. I'll be discussing with my OB soon.

Do I switch over to oral estrogen, or just bump up transdermal?
