@gravity3 I tested negative for BRACA1 and 2. That made me feel better, but even then my risk is still considered "higher than average " by multiple risk calculation tools I found online. I found studies that show estradiol itself doesn't increase the risk, but the progesterone does. According to these studies, micronized progesterone is safer. I did find a provider online willing to give me estradiol and micronized progesterone and I did start treatment, but now I'm having second thoughts. I don't know what scares me more-the osteoporosis or breast cancer. I feel paralyzed.
