@maryandnans Yes, I read that the FDA removed the cancer warning from HRT in December of 2025, so everyone jumped on board. Wow, where do you get a coupon to help pay for patches? I have a drug plan, which doesn't usually pay for much of anything. At the pharmacy, they said it was actually paying for over half the price of my patches. But a report on my insurance claims and coverage seemed to indicate otherwise. I pay $138 a month for the patches and about $12 for a 3-month supply of oral progesterone. A friend is using Ostaderm topical cream, which contains progesterone, estriol, and estradiol. I am wondering if I should switch. It's $32 a month. Are you happy with the results? I started BHRT in late January, and it seems fine. I do have some breast tenderness, which has gotten a lot better. My pharmacist said that it could last for 3 months, and if it doesn't go away, maybe I should go to a lower dosage. Did you have any side effects?
