Hormone Replacement starting at 75yrs old

yes! I'm 75 next week. Partial hysterectomy at 34 yo and was on Premarin (estrogen) for years. Then Docs decided I had to get a mammogram EVERY YEAR or Doc would not prescribe Premarin, so I stopped taking it. For about 10 yrs, all was fine. Then when I hit 73, for some reason I felt like I might need some hrt for hair, skin, eyes, heart. So started on estradiol cream 2x week (small dot, transdermal) and progesterone cream (small dot nightly). I buy it online from ParlorGames. I haven't gotten any good advice from Docs in decades, but am very healthy and just HOPING the bit of HRT + daily walks will help me maintain my bone health, et c. I also take magnesium (transdermal) B4 bedtime, to facilitate D3/K2 absorption (sublingual pill daily). It appears that the testing for hormones is too complicated and results are too temporary for Docs to depend on??? IDK. I'm loving this discussion; let's keep it going.

@lauracbaker
A particular brand of B4? Always at bedtime? I've used Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion for many years on my calves. Works wonders.

@lauracbaker So you're prescribing HRT to yourself via ParlorGames meds? I'm also 75 and trying to get on bhrt and I'm taking the same supplements as you. I was on Prempro from age 47 to 60 and had mammograms every other year. I'd be very hesitant to prescribe bhrt for myself, however, it is so very difficult to find a doctor who will take you on as a patient especially at 75. I just want a better quality of life for me with my bones, brain and heart health. We all deserve it.
