I'm 2 years post menopausal but I'm 62 and carry factor V leiden which can cause blood clotting. All 3 medical practioners including functional medicine aprn do not feel comfortable prescribing ultra low dose transdermal estrogen. My pcp says absolutely NO WAY! Yet, my bone consultation with Dr. Keith McCormick says my main cause of osteoporosis is loss of estrogen and taking it transdermally will help maintain good bone health. He recommended finding a study with people like me with this inherited gene deficiency but so far have not seen anything reputable or with information I can't understand.

Keith McCormick is not a medical doctor but a chiropractor. I would not consider him to be an authoritative source of advice and he has a vested interest in selling his supplements. Please place your trust in those with MD expertise, even if they give you advice you do not want to hear. And if you dabble in supplements (I do too), be sure and do so cautiously and make sure you get measurable or observable benefit with the smallest dose possible.
