Have you been told no to hrt if you are 10+ years post menopause?
Starting hrt 10 years post menopause and the flawed Women's health initiative study.
I have been told no and yet the current findings seem to indicate that hrt can still help.

1 ReactionYou’re a clever woman indeed!
This is so interesting that doctors in Europe didn't follow the flawed WHI results. I wasn't aware of this. I sure wish I had been living in Europe 15 years ago!

1 ReactionI was on bioidentical hormones from age 54 to age 62. I got off them because at that time , doctors were saying stay on them the least amount of time. I am now 71 and would like to go back on them because of my osteoporosis but my gynocologist told me No as I was 10 years out from menopause.
@mcallister1002, I wish the gyns would assess individual risk factors instead of just making decisions based on the "10 year rule."

1 ReactionI agree. Dr. Susan discusses that in the video I sent.
Well, to all of you lovely women out there, don’t hesitate to start or continue taking oestrogen! I was on HRT for five year in my 50s. Now, in my late 70s, I’m on Ovestin cream for incontinence, Hurrah!!
