Have you been told no to hrt if you are 10+ years post menopause?

Clever lady you are!👍

You’re a clever woman indeed!

This is so interesting that doctors in Europe didn't follow the flawed WHI results. I wasn't aware of this. I sure wish I had been living in Europe 15 years ago!

I just watched this video today from Dr. Susan. She talks specifically about estrogen risk. You may find it helpful

I was on bioidentical hormones from age 54 to age 62. I got off them because at that time , doctors were saying stay on them the least amount of time. I am now 71 and would like to go back on them because of my osteoporosis but my gynocologist told me No as I was 10 years out from menopause.

@mcallister1002, I wish the gyns would assess individual risk factors instead of just making decisions based on the "10 year rule."

@mcallister1002, thanks. Will look at the video as soon as possible.

I agree. Dr. Susan discusses that in the video I sent.

Well, to all of you lovely women out there, don’t hesitate to start or continue taking oestrogen! I was on HRT for five year in my 50s. Now, in my late 70s, I’m on Ovestin cream for incontinence, Hurrah!!

Peter Attia MD interviewed Rachel Rubin MD on his podcast (5/12/2025). Episode #348 about HRT. It is very well done and spells out the current options, risks and benefits. I highly recommend listening to it. She references Transitions Pharmacy as a source for discounted HRT.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer (Her2+, Hormone negative) in 2021 at 65. I had been on transdermal estrogen/progesterone for 10years prior. I stopped HRT, had 6 cycles of chemo, bilateral Mastectomy, radiation and more chem to complete 1 year treatment. I was fortunate to have complete pathologic response and had no recurrence. Going off HRT threw me into hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint stiffness, not to mention feeling depleted from chemo. At this point I want to resume HRT and have been given the OK by my oncologist and gyn. I will be starting with a lower dose estrogen/progesterone patch, and vaginal “ring” that delivers continuous dose of estrogen to those tissues, getting replaced every 3 months. I am able to purchase the ring for $180 via the online Transitions pharmacy HRT club, free shipping. Will be adding transdermal testosterone. I hope this interview will shed some light for those seeking answers.
