I was told a resounding no to HRT by 3 endos and my rheumatologist. After lots of research I decided to clear some hurdles on my own. I saw a cardiologist and had a stress test done (actually 2 stress tests), a cardiac ultrasound and an artery scan to rule out any underlying cardiovascular issues that I may not know about. All was clear and my artery scan showed 0 placque buildup. So with that info, I found an OBGYN who deals in hormone replacement therapy and scheduled a visit with her. I was able to be prescribed HRT because even after 25+ years I still have vasomotor symptoms and insomnia with waking multiple times a night. That all started in my late 30s and still happening! She prescribed a low dose of both estradiol and progesterone to start with.
It all took lots of time to find the right Drs and also some winging it on my own. Maybe try looking to OBGYN or even urologists in your area. Kelly Casperson has some great Youtube videos on HRT and she is a urologist. Look her up and watch. Very informative stuff!
Good luck!
