@matilda1993 I am curious to know what your practitioner prescribed. I am using compounded creams. I had also gone to a new endocrinologist for thyroid issues. She was not on board with BHRT either. She was adamant that I start Prolia. I guess time will tell if the newer recommendations for older women are safe. All I know is that the osteoporosis drugs all seem to have horror stories associated with them.

@matilda1993 I would suggest finding supportive drs which are up on HRT and can determine you would be a good candidate

@matilda1993 My doctors were great about me starting HRT transdermal at age 66 more than 20 years after menopause.

My first doctor (who changed to a different practice) gave me some papers on the subject, told me to read about the risks, come back and we would put me on HRT if that was my choice.

When he left, I assembled even more of research papers to show my new doctor why I wanted to start HRT, assuming that she would be reluctant to do so, like so many other women's doctors that I hear about. She was totally on to using HRT for my osteoporosis and expressed frustration with other doctors who are behind the times.

There are some risks with HRT, so it is not for everyone, but age alone no longer eliminated me from that path. Here is a video from a doctor discussing the benefits and risks.
