HRT therapy- has anyone chosen this treatment?

Posted by lillimere @lillimere, Feb 21, 2025

I am 75 old. Considering HRT (unsure what delivery method)

Feeling it is a more natural intervention.

Any experience?

Thank you

Which hormone r u speaking of???? Estrogen? This hormone can cause cancer. I've had incurable slow growing cancer 4 16 yrs treated with monthly I'm injections. Good luck with all your future endeavors and don't expect your providers 2 give u all the answers. Do your OWN research!! Good luck!!

Just starting on the patch (estrogen) and progesterone . I have no idea if it will work, but I am more willing to try this along with vit. d, exercise, etc than the drugs that put you in the drug cycle.
so far no problem.

Im 63 also on levothyroxine 100mcg after RAI. Stopped and started hrt patch, gel, pills over last year. Gel was too messy, pills gave me headaches. Thinking patch only last option. Unsure best start low dose .25 and build up or go higher as 13 years since menopause from RAI.
