I am so glad to read this. I was on HRT from age 46 to age 60 and I felt great. I had one mammogram that showed some calcifications in one breast and my doctor biopsied it and it was benign calcifications. So, I stopped taking it and I so wish that I hadn't. Now I'm 75 and in good health but having much trouble with sleep, fatigue, and several other things. I have an appointment with a new gyn in September (my former gyn retired) and I hope she will prescribe something, an estradiol patch and progesterone for getting back to my old self. I also really want protection for my brain, bones and heart.
@dalexis00 I will be moving back to Loveland soon. Have you heard anything about them starting bhrt for osteoporosis. I am also in my 70's. I am thinking of starting it here in Florida but want a good place to continue in Colorado.
@dalexis00 - this post was over a year ago, wondering how you are doing on the HRT? I am 63, probably 10-12 yrs out from menopause (had an ablation, so not sure). Still have all my parts. Finally starting on vaginal estradiol and hoping to start BHRT patch, oral progestrone and testosterone as soon as my new labs come back. On no other meds, CAC score is 0, only show osteopenia in my left hip (they use that location to harvest bone for a lumbar fusion 20 years ago). 5'7" tall, 145 pounds, weight lift, walk 3-4 miles a day. Any input on the "scare of clots and strokes"? Hoping to take this, sleep thru the night and not pee myself soon.

Thanks, I'll try that.
