Oh wow that is quite different from my prescription if I’m reading it correctly. 2mg estrogen versus my .025 mg estrogen patch …. And 50 mg progesterone versus my 100 mg. I’ll have to research these doses to help explain the differences. Thanks so much. Do you mind sharing your age and years since menopause).

66. Age since menopause is difficult to determine. Had hysterectomy 13 years ago, but kept an ovary until four years ago. Ovary was definitely working until five years ago. Hope that helps.

I was cleared by cardiologist to take hormones starting in mid 60’s. I’m having mild fluid retention at end of day, so will dial back estrogen cream a tad and increase progesterone to 100 mg. The beauty if ttansdermal creams are that they are easy to adjust and have far fewer cardiac risks.
