Hormone Replacement starting at 75yrs old

I am 74 yrs young! I had a severe case of endometriosis which I was diagnosed at 27. I went through several surgeries until at 37 the remainder of my female reproduction system was removed. I was put on HRT following until this year. In 2021 I had covid. During that time I had a blood clot in my right leg.
Fast forward, in 2024 my family gyn would not prescribe HRT anymore.
I went into menopause again! I have been miserable ever since. I have tried OTC meds to control the hot flashes. They have helped a bit.
I was told it was to dangerous to take HRT because of my history of the blood clot. Any advise or clarification would be appreciated.

That sounds very frustrating. I can barely imagine that kind of situation. I hadn’t heard of that concern though. Thanks for posting about it. Were you incapacitated with covid when you got the blood clot?

I would keep doing research on blood clots and HRT. One resource to start at is a podcast by Dr Kelly Casperson MD Urologist from Washington. She will help you start your research, listen to episode 291 and then if you like her listen to the rest
