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 did not fracture while on it and my first fx was 6 months after stopping it. May I ask how long you have been off of HRT? I used only topical estrogen and oral progesterone next to lowest dose. I have a blood clotting disorder and my hematologist urged me to go off of HRT. I regret doing so and have since read a lot of articles and spoken with one other hema Dr and no one really knows if it increases risk for anyone ( blood disorder or not) I’m 71. Thanks for your reply
