Bioidentical hormones for osteoporosis

from what I understand, vaginal estrogen cream stays mostly in the localized tissues and is barely systemic so may not have an effect on your bones. An estradiol patch along with oral micronized progesterone would probably be best for maintaining bone density.

I was wondering about that. I’ll discuss it with my rheumatologist when I see her on Monday. My cardiologist is the one recommending the HRT. I’m 72 so I want to make sure whatever I take will have a positive effect on my bones. I don’t want to ruin my gains. Thanks
