I'm on transdermal estradiol patches (generic for Vivelle-Dot) 25mcg/day, changed twice weekly, along with oral micronized progesterone 100mg nightly.

I started HRT at 61, 11 years after menopause, to help preserve bone mineral density (BMD) after completing Forteo treatment. It's now been 2 years, and my DXA scan after 1st year and ongoing bone turnover markers (BTMs) suggest things are going well so far.
