Could you tell me more about pallets vs cream? My gyn said to use patches or gel, while she uses gel herself. Would pallets deliver hormone more consistently or more conveniently or both? Are pallets compounded? If they are, then are they FDA approved?

Also I was told by my gyn that there is no need for blood work for testing hormones b/c at my age 61, hormone levels are next to none. Dose wise she is flexible, whatever is need for bone health and up to my endo and me. How do you determine a good dose for bone purpose?

Testosterone is not mentioned at all by my gyn. She mentioned I need micronized progesterone with estradiol patches. Does testosterone serve for bone health here, or is it for other body function(s)?

Thank you very much!

Bio, identical, hormones are different than the hormones. She is discussing with you they are compounded and when you do compounding hormones, you must get your blood work done no matter how old you are. They are not approved by the FDA but they have been around for many many years, I have used the creams for over 20 years, and personally had great success, and felt good.
I am now using the pellets for a stronger delivery but I will be having bloodwork done every 3 to 4 months. My doctor is an integrative medicine specialist at Jefferson University in Phila Pennsylvania. You can Google his website and read about the information on the bio identical therapy. I know that my GYN is now using pellets in her office and many other mainstream physicians. I prefer to be with an integrative medicine specialist because they have much more experience in this. You can Google my doctor and read about the information. Dr Bazzan MD Jefferson University. The only information that’s really positive that I have about the palace is from one friend of mine that had osteoporosis, and after a year of using the pellet therapy she totally went into remission, but that is just one person story. You could also google YouTube videos on this subject and get information.

Here is a screenshot of the website. It is very informative.

OK I attached the website so you can read all about the hormones. Press on the hormones for women after you’re done reading the top it will give you very interesting information.
