Yes sarcoma was a concern but speaking with the pharmacist she looked it up and it said the black box had been removed, however it was still on the actual prescription. Did your areas of injection bruise or become sore/swollen? You’re lucky that your Dr is being proactive. I should have been put ON SOMETHING when I discontinued topical HRT. I was on the next to lowest dose for many years

Hi just started the bioidentical HRT patch for osteoporosis. For the patch I am doing the next to lowest dose which is .025- ultra low but I am 72 years old- no fractures at this point. I am wondering why you discontinued topical HRT? Did it help with bone loss? Did you fracture while on it?

I couldn't take HRT due to personal and family history. I did try it twice after menopause, and had horrible reactions (weight gain, depression/dysphorias). I inject my inner thighs because the fat is looser there--when I injected the area around my navel, the fat somehow pushed the injection dose out, I guess because the fat is denser there?? My thighs look like I've gone nine rounds with a very small boxer, if I hit a blood vessel.
