I loved your thoughtful comment @suzva. I am so sorry you had that bleeding scare. Were you still taking progesterone at that time? Couldn’t that have been the cause? I take just .5mg Estradiol alone and it has wonderful skin effects plus I forgot to mention, strong bones…no osteoporosis or osteopenia. But I must say, I still have arthritis, aches and pains and neuropathy. So I see those as separate issues. Best of luck to you.

Thanks gaylerenee...I was still taking the progesterone and continued it for several more months. I was told progesterone has a protective effect on the uterus.
You're right...estradiol/estrogen has lots benefits. Bones, heart health etc. But I think hormones have a great effect on many of the systems in our bodies. I certainly know that getting older is not for sissies, but I sometimes I think our doctors have the tendancy to lump us all together. Everyone is different and we need to advocate for ourselves.
Good health and Happiness : ))
