Yes, I would like to see this conversation continued as I also posted a question recently asking if anyone started HRT after the age of 70. I have always been super sensitive to drug side effects and I find I am even more so at the age of 71. I have tried bio-identical hormones twice for a short period and got such bad side effects of bloating, cramping, breast tenderness etc that I gave up but I am thinking that I probably did not give my body enough time to adjust. I have all the post menopausal symptoms of vaginal dryness and atrophy, insomnia, mood swings, dry skin, etc and am going to make an appointment with an endocrinologist to discuss options.
