[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this "my doctor will put me on BC but not HRT" stuff. I certainly believe PPs are hearing this from their doctor, I just wish they weren't because is shows how ignorant doctors are about treating peri/menopause. BC has far more hormone in it that HRT like Estradiol w/ supplemented with some progesterone. [/quote] My understanding is that the BC my gym put me on has a lower dose of estrogen than HRT. In other words, exactly opposite of what the earlier PP said.[/quote] This might be helpful - https://www.healthpartners.com/blog/birth-control-and-menopause/[/quote] This. It is a higher dose, but it is also a different type of estrogen, and the blood viscosity issues than create the blood clot risk are associated only with oral estrogen.[/quote]
