[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]

No. 
Hrt plus your own hormones is the issue. 
If you are still having regular periods you are layering hrt on top of your existing hormones [/quote]

HRT is quite a low dose compared to the hormones in a woman’s normal cycle, and by the time women experience perimenopause symptoms, it’s usually because their own hormones are getting low. Anyway this seems to be a controversial issue even among doctor, and there are different philosophies for treatment. [/quote]

Do you even know the dosage HRT v birth control pills? This disagreement comes up here periodically and what I’ve gathered is that a lot of posters spout that HRT is lower than BC but no one actually seems to be reading the dosages to make that statement:[/quote]
