What state are you in? I am in the mid-South and can give you the name of a GYN who prescribes both traditional and bio-identical hormones. In my case, I am using a bio-identical cream because my biggest complaint is atrophic skin that cracks and, then, can bleed from time to time. I asked the pharmacist at the compounding pharmacy what in his cream produces the estrogenic component. The answer: wild yam.
The Big Pharma cream the doc first prescribed has methylparabins in it which was an unwelcome surprise. No, no, no.

@barbaradh, thanks. I’m in NC. I have consulted with my PCP….he says he isn’t informed on it. He does prescribe me local Estradiol cream. But that doesn’t count as HRT, I don’t think. And my Endo and Gynecologist don’t prescribe it either. I got the impression they don’t do it for anyone. I asked my previous endo too. They discount it quickly too. No discussion. So, I don’t think it’s due to my type 1 diabetes.

I'm in Alabama. Interesting information about the wild yam.
