76 when I started bhrt. I had 38 years without hormones. Consulted with a gynecologist and my pcp. Neither wS willing at the time to prescribe bhrt. And my endocrinologist does not prescribe hormone treatments at all. I finally went to a functional medicine provider and have been on estradiol/testosterone pellet, estradiol vaginal cream and progesterone for a year. I am happy with the results. Quality of life instead of quantity is my motto at 77.
