@psmnonna if you can’t find a local doc who is open-minded about HRT, one option is to try Midi. It’s a telehealth service focused on HRT and women’s health. They are covered by many insurance plans. https://www.joinmidi.com
I am 61, about 8 years past menopause and started HRT last year. My doc was willing to prescribe, so I didn’t use Midi. But a good friend whose doc refused to consider HRT just started with Midi and has had a good experience so far. She is 63, 13 years past menopause and just started with HRT.
My understanding is that the advisability of HRT is very individual. If you have higher risk factors for various things (heart issues, breast cancer, etc) it could be riskier. It is so important to find a doc who is open minded about HRT to go through the decision process with you.
By the way, I’m watching this thread with interest because my endo wants me on Tymlos. I have the first dose in my fridge, but got her to agree to let me put it on pause until I can see what my first year in HRT does for me.
Good luck! These are such hard decisions with such limited data.
