I am 71 and 16 years post menopause and am seriously considering HRT. I met with my cardiologist yesterday and he was neutral. I am seeing an osteoporosis specialist and I had planned to ask her at my appointment next week (but my appointment was canceled by her office and I may not get in until January). I have an appointment with gyn in 2 weeks to discuss with her.

Hi, pennykj. I am 72 and met with an ob/gyn who prescribed the patch Climara and vaginal suppository 100 mg progesterone (Prometrium) when I asked about bioidentical hormones to assist in sleep and with osteoporosis. Just picked it up today at the pharmacy and I find I am somewhat anxious about starting it.
I am curious as to how your situation turned out and if you would have any advice for me. The only health issue I have is hypothyroidism, for which I take levothyroxine.
@pennykj are you still here?
I realize your post was 2 years ago. Just wondering the results of your HRT journey? I'm currently the same 16 yrs post menopause and considering the same.

How did it go? What did you end up deciding to do and how do you feel about that decision?
