[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just talked about this yesterday with my ob/gyn.  That label and study that caused it created unnecessary  misery for many women.

This is the right move.[/quote]

I'm mid-40s and feel terrible that my mom went through menopause in the early 2000s after the study that scared everyone away from MHT.  A lot of unnecessary suffering.  [/quote]

Have you ever thought that 25 years later the formulation is gonna be very different and now it’s safer?[/quote]

The old version was made out of pregnant horse urine. The new one isn’t and is bioidentical. That’s not to say there are no risks but it’s much safer.

They also have bioidentical progesterone.[/quote]

“Bio identical” isn’t a thing. [/quote]

+1. The idea that “bioidentical” hormones are safer is promoted by internet quacks. Even your own exact estrogen made by your own body can be cancer promoting (this is why breast cancer rates go up after pregnancy, when estrogen levels are very high, and after perimenopause, when level spike on and off). [/quote]

This. It keeps  coming up as if it's  a new and improved hormone  with no risk  and all it happens to be is a hormone with a quack name. There is no HRT that matched exactly  what is missing.  Why is this still going around?[/quote]
