@izziesue As @tillymack says keep looking! Doctors are evolving their approach on HRT as newer research has been published.

My regular doctor specializes in older patients and offered me HRT upfront at age 66 and 20+ years post menopause. I had gathered a whole folder of research articles to discuss with her, but I did not need any of it.

You could gather a similar set of research papers. Be sure to keep and include the online links in case your doctor wants you to forward those to her. My previous doctor who also specialized in older patients was open to HRT for me, so you might want to try to find a doctor who works with more people like us who have OP. Good Luck.
