Sorry about the nausea. Wondering what type of magnesium you are taking. Magnesium citrate will cause loose stools if taking a high dose so I'm just wondering if that might be the culprit. Magnesium Threnate should not have that bowel effect so might be a better choice for you if you're not already on it.

Wondering what dose Dr McCormick recommended to you to build bone if you don't mind sharing. Just thought I'd pass along that if your gyno objects to HRT, as many do, you might want to look into Alloy Health. They are an online pharmacy service, geared toward menopausal women and bioidentical hormones. They have doctors on staff that will evaluate your history and current health status to determine your dose. That service is free but if you want something more in depth, they charge $35 for a consult with an MD. They use the FDA approved bioidentical transdermal estrogen. They are a great service for menopausal women since many doctors will not prescribe and insurance often won't cover.
